Thread: running my program as service

Hi all,

i am trying to run my c++ program as service but it fails to when i install the service so i can not see it on service list. (i tried myprogram.exe install)

NOTE that i am using visual studio 2005 on VISTA

here's the code:

Code:

void WINAPI ServiceControlHandler( DWORD controlCode )
{
	switch ( controlCode )
	{
		case SERVICE_CONTROL_INTERROGATE:
			break;

		case SERVICE_CONTROL_SHUTDOWN:
		case SERVICE_CONTROL_STOP:
			serviceStatus.dwCurrentState = SERVICE_STOP_PENDING;
			SetServiceStatus( serviceStatusHandle, &serviceStatus );

			SetEvent( stopServiceEvent );
			return;

		case SERVICE_CONTROL_PAUSE:
			break;

		case SERVICE_CONTROL_CONTINUE:
			break;

		default:
			if ( controlCode >= 128 && controlCode <= 255 )
				// user defined control code
				break;
			else
				// unrecognised control code
				break;
	}

	SetServiceStatus( serviceStatusHandle, &serviceStatus );
}

void WINAPI ServiceMain( DWORD /*argc*/, TCHAR* /*argv*/[] )
{
	// initialise service status
	serviceStatus.dwServiceType = SERVICE_WIN32;
	serviceStatus.dwCurrentState = SERVICE_STOPPED;
	serviceStatus.dwControlsAccepted = 0;
	serviceStatus.dwWin32ExitCode = NO_ERROR;
	serviceStatus.dwServiceSpecificExitCode = NO_ERROR;
	serviceStatus.dwCheckPoint = 0;
	serviceStatus.dwWaitHint = 0;

	serviceStatusHandle = RegisterServiceCtrlHandler( serviceName, ServiceControlHandler );

	if ( serviceStatusHandle )
	{
		// service is starting
		serviceStatus.dwCurrentState = SERVICE_START_PENDING;
		SetServiceStatus( serviceStatusHandle, &serviceStatus );

		// do initialisation here
		stopServiceEvent = CreateEvent( 0, FALSE, FALSE, 0 );

		// running
		serviceStatus.dwControlsAccepted |= (SERVICE_ACCEPT_STOP | SERVICE_ACCEPT_SHUTDOWN);
		serviceStatus.dwCurrentState = SERVICE_RUNNING;
		SetServiceStatus( serviceStatusHandle, &serviceStatus );

		do
		{
			printf("blablabla");
			/*while(true){
				WCHAR name[20];
				ctow(name,PROC_NAME);
				unsigned long gwID    = GetTargetProcessIdFromProcname(name);
				if (gwID >0){
				//printf("found %s, pid: %d",PROC_NAME, gwID);
				}
				else{
					printf("not found");
					std::system("Gadget_Server_V1.27.333.exe");
					Sleep(10000);
				}*/
			
			//Beep( 1000, 100 );
			

		}
		while ( WaitForSingleObject( stopServiceEvent, 1000 ) == WAIT_TIMEOUT );

		// service was stopped
		serviceStatus.dwCurrentState = SERVICE_STOP_PENDING;
		SetServiceStatus( serviceStatusHandle, &serviceStatus );

		// do cleanup here
		CloseHandle( stopServiceEvent );
		stopServiceEvent = 0;

		// service is now stopped
		serviceStatus.dwControlsAccepted &= ~(SERVICE_ACCEPT_STOP | SERVICE_ACCEPT_SHUTDOWN);
		serviceStatus.dwCurrentState = SERVICE_STOPPED;
		SetServiceStatus( serviceStatusHandle, &serviceStatus );
	}
}

void RunService()
{
	SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY serviceTable[] =
	{
		{ serviceName, ServiceMain },
		{ 0, 0 }
	};
   BOOL success;
  	success = StartServiceCtrlDispatcher( serviceTable );
   if (!success )
   {
	   printf("Service Error");
    	
    }
}

void InstallService()
{
	SC_HANDLE serviceControlManager = OpenSCManager( 0, 0, SC_MANAGER_CREATE_SERVICE );

	if ( serviceControlManager )
	{
		char path[ _MAX_PATH + 1 ];
		WCHAR pa[20];
		ctow(pa,path);
		if ( GetModuleFileName( 0, pa, sizeof(path)/sizeof(path[0]) ) > 0 )
		{
			SC_HANDLE service = CreateService( serviceControlManager,
							serviceName, serviceName,
							SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS, SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS,
							SERVICE_AUTO_START, SERVICE_ERROR_IGNORE, pa,
							0, 0, 0, 0, 0 );
			if ( service )
				CloseServiceHandle( service );
		}

		CloseServiceHandle( serviceControlManager );
	}
}

void UninstallService()
{
	SC_HANDLE serviceControlManager = OpenSCManager( 0, 0, SC_MANAGER_CONNECT );

	if ( serviceControlManager )
	{
		SC_HANDLE service = OpenService( serviceControlManager,
			serviceName, SERVICE_QUERY_STATUS | DELETE );
		if ( service )
		{
			SERVICE_STATUS serviceStatus;
			if ( QueryServiceStatus( service, &serviceStatus ) )
			{
				if ( serviceStatus.dwCurrentState == SERVICE_STOPPED )
					DeleteService( service );
			}

			CloseServiceHandle( service );
		}

		CloseServiceHandle( serviceControlManager );
	}
}

int _tmain( int argc, TCHAR* argv[] )
{
	if ( argc > 1 && lstrcmpi( argv[1], TEXT("install") ) == 0 )
	{
		InstallService();
	}
	else if ( argc > 1 && lstrcmpi( argv[1], TEXT("uninstall") ) == 0 )
	{
		UninstallService();
	}
	else
	{
		RunService();
	}

	return 0;
}

and here is the system lof file:

An unhandled win32 exception occurred in Watchdog.exe [7524]. Just-In-Time debugging this exception failed with the following error: Either a required impersonation level was not provided, or the provided impersonation level is invalid.
