Once you've got a windows service built and running, you'll discover the next major gotcha: it's a pain to debug. There's no terminal (and hence no stdout/stderr) and as soon as you try to run the executable it actually launches the service then returns to you.
One trick I've found very useful is to add a -foreground option to your app so that if you run with that flag then it bypasses the service starter code and instead runs like a regular console app, which makes it vastly easier to debug. In VS.Net set up the debugging options to invoke with that flag.

It's a boiler plate C++ service project that has self install/uninstall functionality and logs service start and stop events to the windows event log. It can be stopped and started through the services app (snapin) like other services. You may want to initially give it LocalSystem rights to see it working , as on xp at least it doesn't have enough rights to start with the project provided rights of LocalService. The Visual Studio 2008 project otherwise runs out of the box despite the downloaded instructions implying otherwise.
Unlike regular software that is launched by the end user and only runs when the user is logged on, Windows Services can start without user intervention and may continue to run long after the user has logged off. The services run in the background and will usually kick in when the machine is booted. Developers can create Services by creating applications that are installed as a Service, an option ideal for use on servers when long-running functionality is needed without interference with other users on the same system.
The services manage a wide variety of functions including network connections, speaker sound, data backup, user credentials and display colors. Windows Services perform a similar function as UNIX daemons.
Windows Services are managed via the Services Control Manager panel. The panel shows a list of services and for each, name, description, status (running, stopped or paused) and the type of service. Double clicking on a service reveals its properties in greater detail. You can stop, pause, start, delay start, or resume each service as appropriate. You can also modify the start mechanism (Manual or Automatic) or specify an account.
Windows Services broadly fall into three categories depending on the actions and applications they control: Local Services, Network Services and System. Third party applications such as antivirus software may also install their own services.
Developers often use Services for functions that are necessary to run in the background, such as the ability to monitor performance data and react to specified thresholds. Services can also be created as Microsoft Visual Studio projects, developing code that specifies what commands can be sent to the service as well as what actions are taken on receipt of those commands. For more specifics on using Visual Studio projects to create Services, check out our recent post on how to create .NET Core Windows Services with Visual Studio 2017.
I don't know why the site is now throwing cert errors, try It is a popular way to convert exe's into windows services. You can download it from their site or search google and find an alternate location.
Running metabase using java is great, but what if you want to run it all the time. On windows you have the options of adding it to start up, but even then you will have to login to the machine to start metabase. So to convert it to something like a service, the best option is to run it as a windows service.
"Windows could not start the Metbase-Service service on Local Computer.
The service did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error.
If the problem persists, contact your system administrator."
In Event Viewer, look in the "Windows Logs"->"System" event log, and filter for Source "Service Control Manager" and Event ID 7040. Find the event saying "The start type of the service was changed from original start type to disabled" for the service you're interested in. When you find that, the "User" listed in the details below is the user that has made that change.
Can anyone elaborate on why you'd have to reinstall? Does the account get embedded in the configs somewhere in addition to the windows service? I have an install that was done months ago using the local system account, and I'd like to change it to use a domain account. Assigning all the needed permissions and rights shouldn't be a problem.
You shouldn't have any issues changing the account that the service is running as. As long as that user has the right to logon as a service, which windows will take care of when you assign the account to the service, you won't have any issues. I installed my system and then switched the service to run using a domain account when WMI did not work and have not had any issues at all. Also, I'm using the built-in Splunk security and it has not thrown any errors when changing the configuration, which would happen if the service account did not have the ability to write to files in the Splunk installation directory.
I've been using neo4j 3.5.7 as windows service. But time for upgrade came and I've unpacked new version 4.1.3 (to different directory), uninstalled old service and installed new with "neo4j uninstall-service" and "neo4j install-service". But when I try to start service it failed.
I've tried to install jdk 11.0.8 and 15. It didn't work either. I tried unpack neo4j to different location, also it didn't help. If I run neo4j with prunsrv-amd64.exe //TS// it works. Why the service don't work?
this cleared up the error. Though from above its not clear this is exactly the same issue, though it does appear something is amiss with the Service. Can you start the Neo4j service from 'Services` UI in Windows? Does this fail in the same manner? Does the Event Viewer of Windows provide any details on the failure?
How do I set the server configuration for WildFly running as a Windows Service? The service batch file only seems to have options for installing in standalone or domain modes with the default configuration files. I want to have separate instances running for the different demos I have on a server, I can do it by setting the configuration when starting manually but can't find anything about doing this when starting as a service. Of course I can just duplicate the entire WildFly instance and modify standalone.xml for each, but I was hoping to avoid that.
If you're more adventurous, you might try mucking with bin/service/service.bat to make it so you can pass arbitrary parameters to standalone.bat/domain.bat, which would then allow you to create multiple services with different configurations.
Thanks for the reply Rich. From what I can tell service.bat sets a bunch of things then calls wildfly-service.exe with various arguments, and I can't find anything that tells me what I could add to that to change the configuration. Also looking at the service details in the registry there's nothing about parameters being passed. So it looks like for the moment I'm either going to have to replicate everything, or go back to using JavaService as we did for previous versions of JBoss AS.
The WildFly developers implemented the service stuff using Apache Commons Daemon, which is not very good in my experience. You're correct that it stores stuff in the registry, and I think that could be used to pass additional parameters, but not without some major surgery on the service.bat script. The key is the %STARTPARAM% variable. It looks like that ultimately just calls standalone.bat, and you can pass -c=my-config.xml to standalone.bat. So the trick is to be able to add arguments to STARTPARAM, which the current service.bat doesn't allow.
Also, I think even replicating everything would not work unless you change the SHORTNAME at the top of the script. I believe that has to be unique or else each service installation will just overwrite the previous one.
I guess I should clarify that when I say I've used YAJSW, I mean that I've used it on non-WildFly projects. I have not used YAJSW with WildFly, so I don't have anything to contribute. I might look into it in the future though, as I've gotten a few complaints from various people on my current project about it being too hard to configure WildFly as a Windows service. If I do come up with something, I'll definitely open a JIRA and possibly send a PR. But that won't be for a while, as we've got an important demo coming up soon and I have bigger fish to fry.
Rename or delete the bin/service directory in your WildFly install, then grab the zip file attached to this post and unzip it in bin. It will create a new service directory containing a slimmed down version of YAJSW (all optional libraries and other unnecessary stuff have been removed). The most important files are wrapper-wfly.conf and wrapper-wfly-app.conf. The former contains the base configuration that must always be present. Don't modify it! Instead, make your changes in wrapper-wfly-app.conf. If you need multiple service configurations, make copies of that file.
You can test your configuration by opening a command prompt in bin/service and running "java -jar wrapper.jar -c ". This will cause YAJSW to start WildFly using the wrapper configuration it will use when you install the service, but in a console so it's easier to debug any issues. Once you're satisfied with your configuration, run the same command again except with -i instead of -c to install the service. Use -r to remove the service. You can also run "java -jar wrapper.jar -?" for a full list of options. Note that service installation/removal must be done using an elevated command prompt. YAJSW will try to elevate automatically if necessary, but that did not work on my machine. fd2cebbec0
