windows-services

I have a windows service running. Within it the task runs currently at 7pm every day. What is the best way to have it run say fir example at 9.45am, 11.45am, 2pm, 3.45pm, 5pm and 5.45pm. I know i can have scheduled task to run the function but i would like to know how to do this within my windows service. Current code below: private Timer _timer; private DateTime _lastRun = DateTime.Now; private static readonly log4net.ILog log = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger (System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType); protected override void OnStart(string[] args) { // SmartImportService

Possible Duplicate: How might I schedule a C# Windows Service to perform a task daily? I am creating a C# Windows Service, but I didn't figure out the best way to make timer fire a method daily at a specific time specified in App.Config file (e.g. daily at 6:00AM, my method is executed). How do you do it? Thanks This code should do it: Trigger tg = new DailyTrigger(); ScheduledTasks st = new ScheduledTasks(); Task t = st.OpenTask("foo"); t.Triggers.Add(tg); t.Save(); Create a scheduled task. It's by far the easiest way. If you've got enough access to install a service you should have enough

This question already has an answer here: Printing from a .NET Service [closed] 11 answers How can I printing a document on a specific printer from a Windows-Service without the need of any user-interaction?

I want to map a clearcase view on network drive inside a windows service. I have tried with net use command, but it did not work properly. You should be able to run the same kind of command than the one used when paths are too long , which is subst : subst X: c:\path\to\my\View # for snapshot view subst X: M:\myView # for dynamic view in order to map a view to a drive letter. This should work from within a service, provided: you are using your Windows account (and not the "Local System account") the dynamic view is already started (and visible in the M:\ MVFS mounting point drive) Garen I wish

I want to check some Windows services status on different remote servers like this: ServiceController sc = new ServiceController("MyWindowsService", "COMPUTER_NAME"); var status = sc.Status But I don't (and can't) have Administrator privileges on those servers. What right should I be asking for to check the status ? I don't wanna be able to restart them either, I need Read access only, The application isn't running on the same machine. Non-admin users can connect to the Service Control Manager remotely, provided they have the "Access this computer from the network" user right. By default this
