Re: Error 1053 starting Win32::Daemon service
Title: Message Mark, Michael, Thanks for the ideas. The account that this defaults to if the -user parameter is not used, is shown in the SCM as the Local System account. First up, tried installing this with fully qualified -l, -d and -t parameters, but no change. I didn't really expect anything dramatic here because the defaults generated by DIRMON looked pretty valid. Next up, added the redirection of stderr in a BEGIN block (good idea!). However, no luck there, as nothing is ever written to the log file. In fact, the log file is only created on the install, but if then removed, is not recreated when the SCM attempts to start the service. It appears to me that it never gets as far as loading the script. I can run the script interactively, but to tell the truth, I'm not really sure what to expect when this is done. Is it then still visible andcontrollable via the SCM? I suspect not, as the install is what adds most of the SCM specific information. For what its worth, the script appears to run once through its main service loop (Daemon::State() first returns a state value of 0 which DIRMON treats as unknown, then a STOPPED state (1) which causes it to exit.

Re: Error 1053 starting Win32::Daemon service
Title: Message Got it! Thanks for all the help. The problem was simply that there was a space in part of the fully qualified dirmon.pl file specification. When dirmon installs itself, it does this without enclosing the path name to itself in quotes, and haven't found a way of forcing this. With any parameters to dirmon, any quotes enclosing these are transferred into the ImagePath entry, but it generates the pathname for the dirmon.pl script itself (using Win32::GetFullPathName), and doesn't quote this. I manually patched the Dirmon entry in the registry, and this is all working fine. As I was initially running the script that started this from the same location, and I had used exactly the same mechanism as dirmon to figure out who I was, it certainly suffers from the same problem. Thanks also to the pointer to the sysinternals website - it all looks interesting. I had never come across this previously (I'm more or less just a dumb user on the Win32 side!).

Error 1053 starting Win32::Daemon service
My apologies if this ends up posted multiple times, but I suspect the first attempt failed...

I have no problems installing the DIRMON script via a simple perl DIRMON.pl install Ive done this without any account or other parameters, but from looking at the installed service, it seems to add sensible defaults.

RE: Error 1053 starting Win32::Daemon service
Hi, Andrew
a) can you run the DIRMON.pl script as yourself, interactively?
b) can you rediect STDERR to a file in a BEGIN{} block to see if you're able
to capture any errors from server mgr.
c) That error isn't always a problem - sometimes the service does start, I'm
guessing it's not in your case, though so it's probably waiting on
something.
Was the service initially installed to run as Localhost\System (or
whatever)?
Kind regards,

*** WARNING : This message originates from the Internet ***
I've been having a battle getting a simple perl script to start as a Win32
service (using Win32::Daemon) on XP. In frustration I've reverted to the
DIRMON script from David Roth's website, which is touted as the example,
and I'm having exactly the same problems with that. Methinks the problem
is with me, and a lack of something in the Win32 knowledge department (my
background is primarily VMS Unix) - hopefully someone can point me in
the right direction.
I have no problems installing the DIRMON script via a simple
perl DIRMON.pl -install
I've done this without any account or other parameters, but from looking
at the installed service, it seems to add sensible defaults. If I now try
and start this through the SCM, it immediately returns with
Couldn ot start the directory monitoring service on the local computer
Error1 053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in
a timely fashion
Thinking that this could be a privilege issue with running outside an
account context, I've tried to start this with an account and password
perl DIRMON.pl -install -user xxx -pass xxx
I actually set up an account called xxx with the same password, so this
is literally what was entered. This returns with;
Failedt o add the Directory Monitoring Service.
Error:T he account name is invalid or does not exist, or the password is
invalid for the account name specified
I've then tried installing this as a system service, then manually adding
the account and password to the logon details in the services console, and
starting this again. This still returns with the 1053 error above.
I have found the SCM events logged for the startup failures, and these are

Timeout (3 milliseconds) waiting for the Directory Monitoring Service
service to connect.
