  • 0

From the thread – Fire windows service stop event I know how to fire an event whenever a system service has stopped.

Now I want to fire an event when a service starts. But I can’t find any service control code relating service starting. Is there anther way to implement it?

Any ideas will be appreciated.

    Check out NotifyServiceStatusChange

    Enables an application to receive notification when the specified
    service is created or deleted or when its status changes.

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms684276(v=vs.85).aspx

    SERVICE_NOTIFY_START_PENDING (0x00000002) – Report when the service is
    starting. The hService parameter must be a handle to the service.

    You could also use WMI:
