script ist not running as service

[Ivanman 0]

Hi @ all!

I've got a AutoIt-Script, which i installed as a Service with winserv. This new serice is running, but it doesn't do its work. :-( Any ideas? Do i have to edit my script anyway?

Thanks!

i even tried it with very small scripts like a simple msgbox. but every script i installed as a service, doesn't do its work. it is installed - i checked it in the services.msc!

Hi, Ivanman, welcome to the forum. Have you looked into the service udf? This should have everything you need to run your application as a service.

Hi!

First - thanks for help! Now i looked at the service udf, but i have still a problem. when i compile my script, there is this error:

C:Program FilesAutoIt3IncludeServices.au3(2215,7) : ERROR: main(): undefined function.

#include <File.au3>
#include <Services.au3>
do
    _FileCreate("file"&@hour&@min&@sec&".txt")
sleep(2000)
until 1 = 0

I've not encountered errors like that when compiling, since everything that runs without errors seems to compile without errors. I normally put the included files in the same folder as my script. Some people like to add UDFs to the includes folder in program files, but I don't do that. However I'm not convinced that the included file 'servicers.au3' is the problem, since I couldn't find a function called main() in the UDF. It could be a number of different things causing this error.

most scripts will not show interactive GUI elements unless the service is configured to do so...and often not unless it's run as the logged in user.
