#141 Setting service's revovery options

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to set service's revovery options in twapi::create_service and twapi::set_service_configuration API? I mean to set actions ("First failure", "Second failure", "Subsequent failures" etc.) that are in "Recovery" tab in windows service properties dialog.

Not currently. I can add it to the list for the next release. Let me know if you need it urgently.

Thanks for the reply. It's not urgent, but I will be happy to use it when it appears in release. For now I can create service using API and change recovery properties manually.

Hi! I've tried new function set_service_failure_actions and I found some issues:

1. When I don't specify option -resetperiod I'm receiving exception:
   Non-integer value 'infinite' specified for option '-resetperiod'.

2. When I use this option I'm receiving another error:
   % twapi::set_service_failure_actions $service_name -actions {{restart 1000}} -resetperiod 0
   Incorrect number of arguments.

Maybe I do something wrong?

No, more likely my fault. I realize that in my hurry to release twapi I forgot to add a test case for setting :-( I'll check tomorrow and see what the issue is.

Sorry about that

OK, I've uploaded a new version at http://sourceforge.net/projects/twapi/files/Development%20Releases/twapi-4.1b20.zip/download

Please try this (4.1b20) and let me know if this works better.

I've tested your release and both issues seem to be fixed.
Thanks!
