How to disable the Windows service if it is turned off. manage it from webapplication

Question

I want to disable the windows service when it is off. Is it possible to do through code from a web application using C #? I am using asp.net mvc and c #.

Answer 1

You are looking for the ServiceController class.

Answer 2

It can be done, but it is unlikely that you want to run your website under an account that has sufficient rights to be able to start / stop services. You can use the ServiceController class to start the service; see here.

Answer 3

Here is an example:

  var sc = new ServiceController("Your service name"); sc.Stop(); sc.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(120)); logger.Info("service stopped."); 

Answer 4

Use the ServiceController class.
