Service status says it's running, but how can I be sure it really is running.

Is there a way to know whether a service is really running ? I can check the
status through the ServiceController but I need a way to make sure that the
service is actually alive and responding.

I'm looking for the equivalent of the Process.Responding command.

TIA - Jeff.

Then you will need to implement a similar feature in your service. either by
TCP or by any other IPC method.

What the service does? The best way to know if it's "ok" is making it to do
what he is intended to do :)
