Retrieve the windows service uptime?

Question

Is there is a way to get the start time of a windows service by code in C#? Is there is a way to get the number of re-starts of the windows service in last 72 hours?

Answer 1

This for the first question.

As for the second question, I think you would need to look at the Windows events to find how many time it started, unless you can change the code to log it somewhere.

Answer 2

You can try to capture it from the Event Log. As far as I know when a service starts it hooks an entry to the event log.
