    (PECL win32service SVN)

    win32_query_service_status — Queries the status of a service

    Description

    mixed win32_query_service_status ( string $servicename [, string $machine ] )

    Queries the current status for a service, returning an array of information.

    Parameters

    servicename

    The short name of the service.

    machine

    The optional machine name. If omitted, the local machine will be used.

    Return Values

    Returns an array consisting of the following information on success, FALSE if there is a problem with the parameters or a Win32 Error Code on failure.

    ServiceType

    The dwServiceType. See Win32Service Service Type Bitmasks.

    CurrentState

    The dwCurrentState. See Win32Service Service Status Constants.

    ControlsAccepted

    Which service controls are accepted by the service. See Win32Service Service Control Message Accepted Bitmasks.

    Win32ExitCode

    If the service exited, the return code from the process.

    ServiceSpecificExitCode

    If the service exited with an error condition, the service specific code that is logged in the event log is visible here.

    CheckPoint

    If the service is shutting down, holds the current check point number. This is used by the SCM as a kind of heart-beat to detect a wedged service process. The value of the check point is best interpreted in conjunction with the WaitHint value.

    WaitHint

    If the service is shutting down it will set WaitHint to a checkpoint value that will indicate 100% completion. This can be used to implement a progress indicator.

    ProcessId

    The Windows process identifier. If 0, the process is not running.

    ServiceFlags

    The dwServiceFlags. See Win32Service Service Service Flag Constants.

    This function will return an array containing the above information as a return value, but if this fails it will return an integer which is a System Error Code. All the System Error Codes can be found here:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms681381%28VS.85%29.aspx

    In my case, it returned 5, in which I immediately knew why and fixed the issue right away.

    In the case of mnemotronic at netscape dot net, here in the documentation notes, it returned 1060 which is:

    ERROR_SERVICE_DOES_NOT_EXIST
    1060 (0x424)
    The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

    Again, it should not return FALSE, instead an System Error Code for Windows.
