Can't start a service script

[aggg63]

Hello.

I write this little script as example

while 1
    if mod(@MIN,5)=0 and @SEC=0 then Mensaje('Control','Servicio copiar','%','2','')
    sleep(1000)
wend

func Mensaje($Remite,$Mensaje,$Tipo,$Tiempo,$Accion)
    ; tipo [ ''=notificacion(defecto) | '%'=mensaje | '!'=error ]
    ; tiempo [ '0'=defecto | '-1'=indefinido | 's'=segundos ]
    run('d:\www\Sendlog32.exe ' & $tipo & '#from:' & $Remite & '#delay:' & $Tiempo & _
        '#right:open:' & $Accion & '#msg:' & $Mensaje)
endfunc

I installed it as service with InnoSetup but doesn't start . The script works very well as exe.

Please, can somebody help me to start this as service? Thanks a lot.

does this work if you paste it in a dosbox?

d:\www\Sendlog32.exe %#from:Control#delay:2#right:open:#msg:Servicio copiar

It works perfectly :-).

you want it every 5 minutes right?

try this:

$iTimer = TimerInit()
While 1
    If TimerDiff($iTimer) > 5 * 60 * 1000 Then ; Every 5 minutes
        Mensaje('Control', 'Servicio copiar', '%', '2', '')
        $iTimer = TimerInit()
    EndIf
    Sleep(250)
WEnd

Func Mensaje($Remite, $Mensaje, $Tipo, $Tiempo, $Accion)
    ; tipo [ ''=notificacion(defecto) | '%'=mensaje | '!'=error ]
    ; tiempo [ '0'=defecto | '-1'=indefinido | 's'=segundos ]
    Run('d:\www\Sendlog32.exe ' & $Tipo & '#from:' & $Remite & '#delay:' & $Tiempo & _
            '#right:open:' & $Accion & '#msg:' & $Mensaje)
EndFunc   ;==>Mensaje

Thanks, but this is not the problem. The script run every 5 minuts in exe mode. The sendlog32 is an program to send messages to Miranda plugin NotifyAnything. I want an script as service. This is only a test to try to write a service more complex. I use InnoSetup to install the service and all seems correct. It appears in Service Manager but doesn't start :-(.

Ok i confess, I cant Read

but i would recommend you the proposed timer solutions...

a autoit exe cant be run as service directly.

you need 'srvany.exe' or so...

check out Q4 in the faq

Well, I get my script running as service Thanks for the help.

But the FAQ have a mistake, the line

_CreateService("", $servicename, "My AutoIt Script", "C:\Path_to_srvany.exe", "LocalSystem", "", 0x110)

must be

_CreateService("", $servicename, "My AutoIt Script", "C:\Path_to_srvany.exe", "LocalSystem", "", 0x10,0x2)
