The ContinueRun() function will return a false value if your service is terminated. Note tha
t you are essentially polling for the
service state; if you issue any blocking system calls, or if you don't call ContinueRun() of
ten enough, then the Service Control
Manager will decide that your service is unresponsive and simply kill it.  This typically ha
ppens after about 30 seconds.

Subject: Detecting service stop with perlSvc

 


I see from the documentation <a href="http://docs.activestate.com/pdk/8.0/PerlSvc_overview.h
tml">  here </a>
and in the sample code for pingSvc that it is possible to trap when the service is paused an
d continued.
