win32_query_service_status - Queries the status of a service

SYNOPSIS
mixed win32_query_service_status (string $servicename, [string $machine]) DESCRIPTION
Queries the current status for a service, returning an array of information. PARAMETERS
o $servicename - The short name of the service. o $machine - The optional machine name. If omitted, the local machine will be used. RETURN VALUES
Returns an array consisting of the following information on success, FALSE if there is a problem with the parameters or a Win32 Error Code on failure. o $ServiceType - The dwServiceType. See Win32Service Service Type Bitmasks. o $CurrentState - The dwCurrentState. See Win32Service Service Status Constants. o $ControlsAccepted - Which service controls are accepted by the service. See Win32Service Service Control Message Accepted Bitmasks. o $Win32ExitCode - If the service exited, the return code from the process. o $ServiceSpecificExitCode - If the service exited with an error condition, the service specific code that is logged in the event log is visible here. o $CheckPoint - If the service is shutting down, holds the current check point number. This is used by the SCM as a kind of heart-beat to detect a wedged service process. The value of the check point is best interpreted in conjunction with the WaitHint value. o $WaitHint - If the service is shutting down it will set WaitHint to a checkpoint value that will indicate 100% completion. This can be used to implement a progress indicator. o $ProcessId - The Windows process identifier. If 0, the process is not running. o $ServiceFlags - The dwServiceFlags. See Win32Service Service Service Flag Constants. SEE ALSO
