How can I stop windows service from asp.net application on windows 7 machine in such manner:
var sc = new ServiceController("TapiSrv", "localhost");
sc.Stop();
When I call sc.Stop() I get the following Cannot open TapiSrv service on computer 'localhost'.
Update: I tried to use network ip instead and I got the same. I found out that I always can start but can't stop. I tried impersonation (WindowsImpersonationContext) but it didn't matter.
You can use ServiceController() class in ASP.NET application but you have to impersonate a user that have rights to manage services.
ServiceController service = new ServiceController("PACSService");
if (service != null)
{
try
{
switch(instruction)
{
case SerwerRequest.Start:
if (service.Status == ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped)
{
service.Start();
service.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
}
break;
case SerwerRequest.Stop:
if (service.Status == ServiceControllerStatus.Running)
{
service.Stop();
service.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
}
break;
case SerwerRequest.Restart:
if (service.Status == ServiceControllerStatus.Running)
{
service.Stop();
service.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(8));
}
if (service.Status == ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped)
{
service.Start();
service.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(8));
}
break;
default:
break;
}
return Json(new { status = 1 }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
catch (System.ServiceProcess.TimeoutException exc)
{
return Json(new { status = -4 }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
catch
{
return Json(new { status = -99 }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
}
else
{
return Json(new { status = -6 }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
Try to replace the localhost with the current machine name.
Or you can do Process.Start("net stop TapiSrv");
