win32_start_service_ctrl_dispatcher

(No version information available, might be only in CVS)

win32_start_service_ctrl_dispatcherRegisters the script with the SCM, so that it can act as the service with the given name

Description

mixed win32_start_service_ctrl_dispatcher ( string $name )

When launched via the Service Control Manager, a service process is required to "check-in" with it to establish service monitoring and communication facilities. This function performs the check-in by spawning a thread to handle the lower-level communication with the service control manager.

Once started, the service process should continue to check-in with the service control manager so that it can determine if it should terminate. This is achieved by periodically calling win32_get_last_control_message() and handling the return code appropriately.

Parameters

name

The short-name of the service, as registered by win32_create_service().

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success, otherwise FALSE or a win32 error code.
