hey! Ive been using Firedaemon for a while now but i dont like it because it adds the name "firedaemon" to the service view. Well
i've tested instsrv.exe and srvany.exe but i get weird errors while testing it on me.

Could someone pls post how it looks when you succeed and what syntax you use...

Sorry , pasted in wrong section. any admin wanna move it to ... open topic?

Any help in this problem would be greatly apricated( bad spell )....

i haven't tested the two tools yet, up now i am also using firedaemon, but i want to switch to something else. does anyone know why firedaemon.exe even gets detected (by avp i think) on some systems? i got nav 2003, and it doesn't complain about firedaemon on my hd.

Man, it is pretty simple yaar...

Copy INSTSRV.EXE your C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 folder, well, that will be better, otherwise u need to give the full path in command prompt.. You dont need to bother about it in future too.. Well, then go to the folder which ur Application EXE lies, copy the SRVANY.EXE in to that folder... Well, then Start--Run--CMD..

At command prompt type

INSTSRV.EXE <servicename> <path of the srvany.exe>

example: instsrv.exe myservice c:\program files\abc\srvany.exe

Well, it will make a service named MYSERVICE. You can see "The Service was successfully created" message.

Go and check it in the Services list... (Administrative tools-->Services)

Then, go to Registry, with REGEDIT and Find out the "MYSERVICE"

It will be under
HKeyLocalMechine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MYSERVICE

Create a "Parameters" key (Click Mouse's right button to create it)
Then, Add an "Application" value:
Open the "Parameters" key
Create an "Application" string value (REG_SZ) within the "Parameters" key
Edit "Application" and specify the full path of your application executable (including the extension) . Make sure that your path is correct. This will do the job man... Well, if you want to check whether it is working right, Restart your computer and take a look at it..

While not necessary, you may wish to add optional values to the "Parameters" key
AppParameters (String) - Specify any parameters for your application
AppDirectory (String) - Specify the current directory to use for your application ..

Well, if you still have problems, let me know... Ok?..

Well,

if you want to remove a service use this syntax

INSTSRV.EXE <SERVICENAME> REMOVE

helloooo
i wanted to know if i can do that stuff also 4 an irc bot(XDCC)
do i do it like that...
example: instsrv.exe myservice c:\program files\abc\iroffer.exe "mybot.txt"
i want to be sure before im going to that... 10x 4 all the helpers...

instsrv.exe myservice c:\program files\abc\iroffer.exe "mybot.txt"


srvany.exe is not mean that you should put your application exe, dont mistake it... You might have thought like SRVANY means you can use any of your application exe... Noo oooooo... The application exe path, you should give in registry... Well, I dont know about IRC stuffs... Will try to find something to help you..

Thank you, manu. It seems to you like this isnt a substitue to firedaemon , which I was looking for. If anyone know a app you can use like firedaemon pls notify me.

Any help about my question above?

Sorry, dear friend, bit lazy these days, well, in a nice weekend, dont want to think of anything other than being with my dearest people, well, soon will be back...

Instsrv and Srvany can be used as a replacement to firedaemon.

To use with your xdcc bots, do the following:

instsrv "Iroffer Bot" c:\iroffer\srvany.exe

open the HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Iroffer Bot reg key,

Create a Parameters key, then open the Parameters key create the following string values (REG_SZ):

Name: Application
Data: C:\iroffer\iroffer.exe

Name: AppDirectory
Data: C:\iroffer

Name: AppParameters
Data: C:\iroffer\iroffer.txt

for iroffer to work, you must use the AppDirectory and AppParameters REG_SZ string values.

It works the same way with firedaemon almost.

firedaemon -i "Iroffer bot" "C:\iroffer" "C:\iroffer\iroffer.exe" "C:\iroffer\iroffer.txt"

where "C:\iroffer" = the home directory of the service aka AppDirectory, "C:\iroffer\iroffer.exe" = app aka Application, and "C:\iroffer\iroffer.txt" = parameters to run, aka AppParameters.
