OK... sometimes the account needs admin rights (but System has this so its not going to be that)... I would download psexec from sysinternals.com and run
psexec \\%computername -s perl -c dirmon.pl to see if there's a problem compiling under the System account... compilation errors probably wouldn't make it to the log file. Perl might not be in the %PATH% for the system user or something... (or system may not have rights to create files) Kind regards, Mark Anderson Team Leader - RSWI 1st Floor, The Broadstone 50 South Gyle Crescent Edinburgh, EH12 9UX Tel: 0131 523 7630 Mob: 07808 826 063 > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2005 6:49 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Error 1053 starting Win32::Daemon service > > *** WARNING : This message originates from the Internet *** > > > Mark, Michael, > > Thanks for the ideas. > > The account that this defaults to if the -user parameter is not used, is > shown in the SCM as the Local System account. > > First up, tried installing this with fully qualified -l, -d and -t > parameters, but no change.
