Sharon,
 
Thanks so much for your reply. I will  run STAF as a scheduled service and try 
it out,
 
Thanks,
Radhika

This is really more of a Windows services question than a STAF question, so I 
don't know that is causing the problem.  I would guess that the Local System 
Account under which STAFProc is running as a service does not have the same 
permissions (or something) as the user logged on when STAFProc is not run as a 
service.  Also, I don't know what your Python scripts are doing but perhaps 
they depend on a particular user being logged on? 

You could try running STAFProc as a scheduled task instead of as a service and 
see if that helps.  Sub-section "11.3 Windows" in section "11. Starting STAF 
during system reboot" in the STAF Installation Guide at 
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFInstall.pdf contains information about 
how to run STAFProc as a scheduled task (as well as information about running 
STAFProc as a service).

Subject:        [staf-users]  Issue with running STAF as a service 
















Hello, 
  
I am running STAF as a service in Windows machine. We used the  memo below to 
install it as a service in the client machines. 
 http://8thstring.blogspot.com/2007/11/configure-staf-to-run-as-windows.html 
  
There are python scripts which run various tests connecting the client to 
domain controller over the network. These tests are run simultaneously from 50 
clients, from a management PC, and this is where we use the services of STAF. 
When STAF is installed as a service, it is running with the Local System 
Account. 
  
>From the properties of the STAF service, it shows 
Log on as Local System Account. 
  
 Once I start the python scripts from the management PC, the STAF command 
window throws an error. These same tests when they are run in the client 
locally and when STAF is run as application, it runs successfully without any 
error. 
  
This is the error I see in the command window: 
  
C:\Python27>python "C:\Documents and Settings\administrator.wanopt-qa\wfstesting
\runtests.py"
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "C:\Documents and Settings\administrator.wanopt-qa\wfstesting\runtests.py
", line 209, in <module>
   main()
 File "C:\Documents and Settings\administrator.wanopt-qa\wfstesting\runtests.py
", line 109, in main
   exec 'from testcases import ' + tc
 File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
 File "C:\tests\sonicwall\wxa\wfs\testcases\tc6_1.py", line 5, in <module>
   from testcases import tc6_0
 File "C:\tests\sonicwall\wxa\wfs\testcases\tc6_0.py", line 143, in <module>
   tc = TC(__name__)
 File "C:\tests\sonicwall\wxa\wfs\lib\testcase.py", line 336, in __init__
   self.testenv = config.load_env_vars()
 File "C:\tests\sonicwall\wxa\wfs\envconfig\config.py", line 39, in load_env_va
rs
   fd = open(env.configpath, 'r')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\config\\s
ystemprofile\\WFSTESTING\\wanoptenv.config.xml' 
  
The file wanoptenv.config.xml file is actually in C:\wfstesting. 
  
I am not sure why changing STAF to run as an application makes it work unlike 
running it as a service. 
All the files and folders that are accessed by the python scripts have full 
permissions. 
  
I would appreciate if you could help me debug this issue. 
I am resending this as my original email was not sent due to size limitation. 
  
Thanks, 
Radhika
