[Py2exe-users] adding custom command line options to NT service

[aurora <aur...@gm...>]

I use the sample and build a NT service subclass from  =

win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework. It provides a decent set of command  =

line options like this


------------------------------------------------------------------------=
------
Usage: 'myservice.py [options] install|update|remove|start  =

[...]|stop|restart [...]|debug [...]'
Options for 'install' and 'update' commands only:
  --username domain\username : The Username the service is to run under
  --password password : The password for the username
  --startup [manual|auto|disabled] : How the service starts, default =3D=
  =

manual
  --interactive : Allow the service to interact with the desktop.
------------------------------------------------------------------------=
------


I have enhanced it to include some custom command line option so that it=
  =

can double as an interactive application and a NT service. This works wh=
en  =

I launch it as a python script. Once I build it with py2exe, it seems to=
  =

put a different wrapper around it. Launching it from command line would =
 =

get:


------------------------------------------------------------------------=
------
Services are supposed to be run by the system after they have been  =

installed.
These command line options are available for (de)installation:
         -help
         -install
         -remove
         -auto
         -disabled
         -interactive
         -user: <arg>
         -password: <arg>

Connecting to the Service Control Manager
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "boot_service.py", line 166, in ?
pywintypes.error: (1063, 'StartServiceCtrlDispatcher', 'The service  =

process could not connect to the service controller.')
------------------------------------------------------------------------=

Why is there seems to be two different wrapper for NT service? Is it  =

possible for to add custom command line option like what I did to the  =

original launcher?


Thanks.
