e><P>Dan,</P><P>as I wrote in my previous e-mail, I would not recommend to=
do this in Java. And I also pointed to two alternatives on how to do=
it:</P><FONT size=3D2><P>> I would not recommend doing platform-specific=
stuff with Java. This <BR>> normally leads to more problems than you m=
ight want to solve since it <BR>> is most likely that things work compl=
etely different on different systems.<BR>> But if you are forced t=
o do this stuff, you may either call the Windows <BR>> net tool (a=
s you already mentioned) or write a JNI library that makes <BR>> calls =
into the Windows Service API (see the Wrapper's C methods <BR>> wrapper=
StartService() and wrapperStopService() in wrapper=5Fwin.c).</P></FONT><P>Th=
e Wrapper's Java API does not provide methods to access services (except f=
or controlling the application it is starting) because this is not way it =
is designed to work.</P><P>I also think it does not make any sense to impl=
ement this task in Java, since you do not have any benefit writing the app=
lication in a platform-independant manner when you are trying to do only p=
latform-specific stuff.</P><P>Cheers,<BR>Andreas</P><TABLE id=3Dalt style=3D"P=
