WIN32_START_SERVICE_CTRL_DISPATCHER(3)					 1				    WIN32_START_SERVICE_CTRL_DISPATCHER(3)

win32_start_service_ctrl_dispatcher - Registers the script with the SCM, so that it can act as the service with the given name

SYNOPSIS

       mixed win32_start_service_ctrl_dispatcher (string  $name)

DESCRIPTION

	When  launched	via  the  Service Control Manager, a service process is required to "check-in" with it to establish service monitoring and
       communication facilities. This function performs the check-in by spawning a thread to handle the lower-level communication with the service
       control manager.

	Once  started,	the service process should do 2 things. The first is to tell the Service Control Manager that the service is running. This
       is achieved by calling win32_set_service_status(3) with the WIN32_SERVICE_RUNNING constant. If you need to  perform  some  lengthy  process
       before  the  service  is actually running, then you can use the WIN32_SERVICE_START_PENDING constant. The second is to continue to check-in
       with the service  control  manager  so  that  it  can  determine  if  it  should  terminate.  This  is  achieved  by  periodically  calling
       win32_get_last_control_message(3) and handling the return code appropriately.

PARAMETERS

	      o $name
		- The short-name of the service, as registered by win32_create_service(3).

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success, FALSE if there is a problem with the parameters or a Win32 Error Code on failure.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      A win32_start_service_ctrl_dispatcher(3) example

	       Check if the service is runnig under the SCM.

	      <?php
	      if (!win32_start_service_ctrl_dispatcher('dummyphp')) {
		die("I'm probably not running under the service control manager");
	      }

	      win32_set_service_status(WIN32_SERVICE_START_PENDING);

	      // Some lengthy process to get this service up and running.

	      win32_set_service_status(WIN32_SERVICE_RUNNING);

	      while (WIN32_SERVICE_CONTROL_STOP != win32_get_last_control_message()) {
		# do some work here, trying not to take more than around 30 seconds
		# before coming back into the loop again
	      }
	      ?>

NAME

       update-service - add/remove a service to/from system-wide service supervision

SYNOPSIS

       update-service --add|--remove service-directory [service-name]

       update-service --list|--check [service-name]

DESCRIPTION

       service-directory must be a directory to be used by supervise(8), service-name must not start with a dot, and must not contain a slash.

       update-service  adds or removes the service-directory to the system-wide service supervision provided through daemontools' svscan(8), lists
       all registered system-wide services, or checks for a specific service-name whether it is registered.

       When adding a service, and the service-directory resides in /etc/, update-service makes sure that the ./supervise/  subdirectories  in  the
       service-directory,  and	the optional service-directory/log/, are symbolic links pointing into /var/lib/supervise/, unless they already are
       symbolic links.

OPTIONS

       --add | -a
	      Add the service directory service-directory to the system-wide service supervision, under the name service-name.	If service-name is
	      not specified, update-service will use the basename of service-directory.  You can use the svc(8) program to control the newly added
	      service, and the svstat(8) program to query its status, e.g.:

	      # svstat /etc/service/service-name

       --remove | -r
	      Remove the service directory service-directory, which has been added under the  name  service-name,  from  the  system-wide  service
	      supervision.   If  service-name is not specified, update-service will use the basename of service-directory.  When removing the ser-
	      vice-directory, the exit command is sent to the corresponding supervise(8) process, telling it to take the  service  down  and  exit
	      afterwards.  You can use the svc(8) and svstat(8) programs to control the removed service, or query its status, e.g.:

	      # svstat service-directory

       --list | -l
	      If  service-name is specified, update-service checks whether service-name is registered as system-wide service, prints a message and
	      exits non-zero if not, or prints the service-name and the directory it points to and exits zero if  yes.	 If  service-name  is  not
	      specified, it prints the names of all system-widely registered services, one per line.

       --check | -c
	      The same as --list, but update-service doesn't print anything to standard out or standard error.

ENVIRONMENT

       SVDIR  The environment variable $SVDIR overrides the default services directory /etc/service/.

FILES

       /etc/service/
