Check status of a service

[Valnurat 2]

How is it possible to check the status of a service?

I need to wait for a service to start before proceeding.

#include <array.au3>
#include <service.au3>

$aServices = _ServListInstalled()

_ArrayDisplay($aServices)
$spoolerStatus = _ServGetState("Spooler")
MsgBox(64, "Spooler service status", $spoolerStatus)

$appIDSvcStatus = _ServGetState("AppIDSvc")
MsgBox(64, "AppIDSvc service status", $appIDSvcStatus)

Do
    Sleep(1000)
    $myServiceStatus = _ServGetState("myServiceName")
Until $myServiceStatus = "Running"

MsgBox(64, "Yay!", "It's aliiiiiive!")

In the wiki you can find a list of available UDFs: https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/User_Defined_Functions

Where do I find the included service.au3?

I get an error: Can't open include file <service.au3>

Oh, sorry, I've had that UDF for ages. Check Water's link.

Check my link above

The UDF by Engine?

Or:

Service (by arcker) - Build your own service with AutoIt code.
Windows Services (by engine) - Windows Services UDF.

Yes, I found them before, but they don't have the function calls in the exampel from SadBunny.

Object way :

Local $sServiceName = "RemoteRegistry"
Local $oShell = ObjCreate("shell.application")

Do
    Sleep(100)
Until $oShell.IsServiceRunning($sServiceName)
MsgBox(0, "", "Service " & $sServiceName & " is running now")

@jguinch - It worked.

Thank you.
