If a STAF service is not installed, submitting a request to that service 
will return RC 2 (Unknown service).  So, if you submit any request to the 
HTTP service and it returns RC 2, then you know that no service with the 
name HTTP is registered on that machine.  For example:

C:\>STAF local HTTP HELP
Error submitting request, RC: 2
Additional info
---------------
HTTP

Another way is to submit a QUERY SERVICE request to the SERVICE service. 
It will return RC 48 (Does not exist) if the service is not registered on 
that machine.  For example:

C:\>STAF local SERVICE QUERY SERVICE HTTP
Error submitting request, RC: 48
Additional info
---------------
HTTP

Subject:        [staf-users] Best Way To Detect Service Is Not Installed?



Hi,

I have a couple instances where the http service is needed, but may not be 
installed.  What's the best way to detect a service is not present?

I assume "staf local help list service HTTP" would work. But is that the 
best method?
