I have my notes on how to create a service for NT, along with the two required files from the resource disk. My question, though, is how the service actually works. So this goes out to anyone who has used it as a service or who knows how services work. How often does NT check to see if a particular service is running? Is it possible to set it up to start the service at a specific time? How about stopping it at a particular time? I run a batch that basically runs one WU with the -stop_after_process switch, then changes dirs to the next avail WU and processes that one, etc. If the srvice batch is already running, will it try to start it a second time, thereby starting the batch and multiple WU processings at the same time? What I have in mind to do is to have the service start at 6pm IF I have put a WU in the working dir. If I have put multiple WUs in their separate dirs and have it start my batch, I want it to run one after the other like it normally does. Ideally, though, it would not try to start before 6pm, but I'll take what I can get. Any input?
