Hi, It could be that when the cygrunsrv stuff goes through your shell and \\ becomes \ and \ becomes nothing (??). Just a thought.
What happens if you double ecsape the forward slashes? cygrunsrv -I perflog -p /cygdrive/c/WINNT/perflog.exe -t manual -a '-o c:\\\\perflogs\\\\diesel.csv -s 1 -c "\\\\Processor(_Total)\\\\% Processor Time" -c "\\\\SMTP Server(_Total)\\\\Messages Sent/sec"' Elfyn [EMAIL PROTECTED] Original Message: ----------------- From: Jack Twilley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 09 Dec 2002 15:27:20 -0800 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problem with cygrunsrv I have a program someone wrote me that works fine from the command line, but doesn't work when run as a service. The following command works from a local Windows command shell: perflog -o c:\perflogs\diesel.csv -s 1 -c "\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time" -c "\SMTP Server(_Total)\Messages Sent/sec" The program does the right thing, writing one line every second to the diesel.csv file containing the performance counter values mentioned on the command line. Here's my cygrunsrv line: cygrunsrv -I perflog -p /cygdrive/c/WINNT/perflog.exe -t manual -a '-o c:\\perflogs\\diesel.csv -s 1 -c "\\Processor(_Total)\\% Processor Time" -c "\\SMTP Server(_Total)\\Messages Sent/sec"' This line returns no errors. Here's the line I used to start the service: cygrunsrv -S perflog This took a while (quite a few seconds) but returned with a prompt. I suspect the program partially runs, as the data file is created. Here's the line I used to stop the service: cygrunsrv -E perflog This waited quite some time before returning with an error: cygrunsrv: Error stopping a service: ControlService: Win32 error 1061: The service cannot accept control messages at this time. I get a similar response when I try to remove the service. Help?
