Every now and again you'll stumble across something that's pretty elegant though. Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hope it helps! Huh. Thank you guys a lot. I took a glance (albeit a rather long one) and decided that my users will have to install cygwin if they want to use my script. Service handling is just a bit to complicated (after creating UNIX daemon with 2 consecutive forks), and I'm not going to be paid for this :-D -- "Now the storm has passed over me I'm left to drift on a dead calm sea And watch her forever through the cracks in the beams Nailed across the doorways of the bedrooms of my dreams" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Seems like I misunderstood Windows services (I'm porting UNIX daemon to Windows so I'm thinking in UNIX terms). I didn't know I have to _install_ a service before I _start_ it.

Looks like Microsoft thinks you mis-spelled it.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/w2000Msgs/3310.mspx?mfr=true
I would check and see if that service is installed on your PC. You can
go to Start --> Run and type services.msc
Scroll through there and see if your service is listed. You might
check to see if you can enable/disable it via that console as well.

win32serviceutil won't start
I have a very simple win32serviceutil script:
import win32serviceutil, time
win32serviceutil.StartService("burek", "localhost")
time.sleep(10)
exit()
It successfuly imports win32serviceutil, and chokes on StartService:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "foobar.py", line 3, in ?
win32serviceutil.StartService("burek", "localhost")
File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32\lib\win32serviceutil.py", line
399, in StartService
hs = SmartOpenService(hscm, serviceName, win32service.SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS)
File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32\lib\win32serviceutil.py", line
76, in SmartOpenService
return win32service.OpenService(hscm, name, access)
pywintypes.error: (1060, 'OpenService', 'The specified service does not
exist as an installed service.')
What does that mean?
