I've made a service with Delphi. Every time I call another application in that service the application is not running. What is wrong?
BTW I have used shellexecute, shellopen or calling it with cmd. None of these methods work.
This is my code:
program roro_serv;
uses
SvcMgr,
Unit1 in 'Unit1.pas' {Service1: TService},
ping in 'ping.pas';
{$R *.RES}
begin
Application.Initialize;
Application.CreateForm(TService1, Service1);
Application.Run;
end.
unit Unit1;
interface
uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, SvcMgr, Dialogs,
ExtCtrls, DB, MemDS, DBAccess, MyAccess, Menus, forms, IniFiles,
ComCtrls, wininet, Variants, shellapi,
FileCtrl, ExtActns, StdCtrls, ShellCtrls;
type
TService1 = class(TService)
Timer1: TTimer;
procedure Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject);
procedure ServiceExecute(Sender: TService);
procedure ServiceStop(Sender: TService; var Stopped: Boolean);
procedure ServiceStart(Sender: TService; var Started: Boolean);

procedure run_procedure;
procedure log(text_file, atext : string );
procedure loginfo(text : string);
function CheckUrl(url: string): boolean;
procedure execCMD(CommandLine, Work: string);
function DoDownload(FromUrl, ToFile: String): boolean;
end;
var
Service1: TService1;
iTime : integer;
limit_time : integer = 2;
myini : TiniFile;
default_exe_path : string = '';
default_log_path : string = '';
appdir : String = '';

Put simply: how can I call another application from my service?
ShellExecute/Ex()
and CreateProcess()
run the specified file/app in the same session as the calling process. A service always runs in session 0.
In XP and earlier, the first user to log in also runs in session 0, so a service can run an interactive process and have it viewable to that interactive user, but only if the service is marked as interactive (the TService.Interactive
property is true). If multiple users are logged in, they run in session 1+, and thus cannot see interactive processes run by services.
Windows Vista introduced a new feature called "Session 0 Isolation". Interactive users no longer run in session 0 at all, they always run in session 1+ instead, and session 0 is not interactive at all (the TService.Interactive
property no longer has any effect). However, to help with migration of legacy services, if a service runs an interactive process that tries to display a GUI on session 0, Windows prompts the current logged in user, if any, to switch to a separate desktop that temporarily makes the GUI viewable. In Windows 7 onwards, that legacy support is now gone.
In all versions on Windows from 2000 onwards, the correct way to run an interactive process from a service and have it be viewable to an interactive user is to use CreateProcessAsUser()
to run the new process in the specified user's session and desktop. There are plenty of detailed examples available on MSDN, StackOverflow, and throughout the Web, so I'm not going to reiterate them here.
