I have compiled a program on Windows Server 2008
using GHC 7.6.3
32-bit
. I'm attempting to run it via a service within windows on boot-up (and ideally keep it up). To do so I have created a service with the following command successfully
sc create stworker binPath= "C:\\Users\\vagrant\\Desktop\\worker.exe"
The problem I'm having is that when I attempt to start the service I receive the following error (see image below).
The executable runs fine when I double click it. So not sure why Windows wouldn't allow the service to be run.
I don't think this is an issue w/ GHC
. I'm under the assumption that GHC
compiles to native code and not MSIL
.
So any ideas why I can't run my executable as a service?
As mentioned in the comments, you need to actually implement the Win32 service API for your program to behave as a Windows service, and you can do this using the Win32-services
package.
There's also a wrapper package Win32-services-wrapper
that I wrote that aims to provide some of the boilerplate and handle logging, so that defining a service looks like this:
main =
defineService $
Service {
serviceName = "Service",
-- Start the service given a debug handle to write to.
-- Make sure not to use stdout or stderr as they don't exist.
-- Any state needed by serviceStop can be returned here -
-- the Service type takes the type of the state as a type parameter
serviceStart = \debugHandle -> ...,
-- Stop the service given the service state returned by serviceStart
serviceStop = \serviceState -> ...
}
There's a real example of using it in darcsden
.
