I want to set the Recovery Options on a Windows Service I'm installing on a Windows Server 2003. I know this is possible to do manually, but I want to set the Recovery configuration when I install the service.
I use SC script to do this:
SC create MyService displayname= "MyService" binpath= "C:\Program Files\MyService\MyService.exe" start= auto SC failure MyService reset= 86400 actions= restart/1000/restart/1000/run/1000 SC failure MyService command= "C:\Program Files\Myservice\MyService.exe" The problem is when the first whitespace is hit, it cuts off the path and takes the rest of the path as input parameters:
So... in the properties dialog for the service (run -> services.msc -> right-click MyService -> Properties -> Recovery tab) I select "Subsequent failures -> Run a Program
As you can see I have put "" around the path in the command. How do I get to make whitespaces in the path? I know I can just make a path with no whitespaces, but that's not the point :-)

The SC command communicates with the Windows Service Controller and installed services. When used with its create command option, you can use it to create a Windows service under which the Endeca Server will run.
The name must use the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) format (for example, \myserver). To run SC.exe locally, don't use this parameter. Specifies the service name returned by the getkeyname operation. Specifies the service type.
In case you need the same service running on the same host but with different configuration, logically you would use same code just copy the service folder with different configuration and use installutil to install service with a different name.
This syntax seems to work:
sc failure MyService command= "\"c:\program files\myservice\myservice.exe\"" If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
