batchfile as service

Hi,
I wanted to run a batchfile as service and added it using instsrv.exe but am getting error 

The service is not responding to the control function.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2186.

 
for example if the batchfile is something like this and i run this from cmd prompt it runs fine and if i add it to
the services i get error, any workaround for this as i have a program which runs in foreground and want it to
be run from services.when checked Programs like apache.exe runs fine when used in this proceedure 

 <at> echo off 
echo ping localhost -t > work.bat 
start /min work.bat

Thanks,
Raja Sekhar

Re: batchfile as service


As I see it that batch file adds apache as a service itself.  It doesn't
need instsrv.exe to do it.

What are you trying to achieve?  Your example bat file redirected the ping
output to a temp bat file and then launched the batch file.  What did you
expect that to do?

>>>  <at> echo off 
>>> echo ping localhost -t > work.bat 
>>> start /min work.bat

Re: batchfile as service

yes but i am adding the batchfile for apache as service using instsrv.exe and it   runs fine.
the ping one was just for testing , actually i have eventlog.exe -b -rt 120 -f serverx.txt and i want this to be
run as service than running it manually.
when i use the same syntax n batchfile and its runs with out problem.But as a service it doesnot run and that is
why i used start /min option as the eventlog.exe runs in forground and a cmd prompt is open

Barch file does not install the .exe files.


Hello,

I have a slight problem with a batch file. I am using the following
batch file on my unattended Windows XP CD to edit the
"RunOnceEx" registry key.

 <at> echo off

FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST
%%i:\Readme.txt SET CDROM=%%i:

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Critical MS Windows XP Hotfixes" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\Updates\Windows\Updates.cmd"
/f

So that after the first restart, Windows XP will run the
"Updates.cmd" batch file. The contents of "Updates.cmd"
is the following:

for /f "delims=" %%a IN ('dir *.exe /b') do "%%a" /q /n /z

"%CDROM%\Software\Updates\Windows\Switches\KB873374.exe"
"%CDROM%\Software\Updates\Windows\Switches\KB890830.exe" /q

COPY /Y

I would firstly define which part of the problem needs attention.

Create a batch file with a pause command
