Starting a Windows service with arguments

Valid options are:

       net start [service name] </arg1> </arg2> ...
     

2. sc start

   • Arguments are passed to the OnStart(...) method

   • Changes are transient unless custom login overrides the default OnStart(...) behaviour

       sc start [service name] <arg1> <arg2> ...
     

3. services.msc

   • General->"Start parameters:" field (when service is stopped)
   • Arguments are passed to the OnStart(...) method
   • Changes are transient unless custom login overrides the default OnStart(...) behaviour

4. modify ImagePath registry key, either manually or programmatically.

5. modify registry key via sc.exe

       sc config "Cache One C Bridge" binPath= "\"C:\Documents and Settings\ashcheglov\My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\isc.onec\isc.gateway.net.service\bin\x86\Debug\isc.onec.service.exe\" 9101"
     

6. .NET-based service: create a separate isc.onec.service.exe.config file per service

   • Allows multiple instances, but with different executable names (so that .config files are also named differently))
