我可以在Windows服务中运行另一个命令提示符/ GUI进程吗？

Question

I am writing a windows service that occasionaly has to renew IP address of the system and It would call ipconfig /renew to do it. The code is going to look like this

            Process ipconfigProcess = new Process();                
            ipconfigProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "ipconfig";
            ipconfigProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = " /renew";
            ipconfigProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
            ipconfigProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
            ipconfigProcess.Start();
            strOutput = compiler.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
            ipconfigProcess.WaitForExit();

I suppose a windows service is not allowed to show windows/dialogs. So my question is whether renewing ip as above would be a problem in windows service because it may or may not show a console to run ipconfig ?

Answer 1

我认为您要面对的唯一问题是权限问题-运行这样的过程应该没有问题（只要您不想与任何类型的UI交互），但是Windows服务需要以能够生成进程并执行ipconfig的帐户运行。

Answer 2

This does not require an instance of cmd.exe. Many command line applications are used in this manner.

Answer 3

A service can use GUI functions and/or create a console. Windows creates a dummy display surface to draw on as necessary. (Obviously, this dummy surface can't interact with the user.)
