Managing Windows Services (Easy Way)
Recently, I had to develop a small piece of application in C# (.NET) and make it to run as a Windows Service. .NET provides rich support for developing and installing application as services like installutil.exe etc. But our old application had left instances of its unsupported windows service option, which I was thinking with fingers crossed on how to remove.
While searching a bit in Google, I got toknow of this nice tool from Microsoft Windows 2000 ResourceKit called sc.exe, which has good support to even remotely manage services on a different computer. Of course, you need to have administrative privileges on the system whose Service database you are currently operating on.
Here is some nice document on sc.exe: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=251192
