Start service

[Guest]

Hi!!

I used the utility from Windows 2000 Sevrer Resource kit to create a service
from an .exe file.
That was nothing.. but when i try to start de service i get the error :

1053 The Service did not respond to the Start or Control Request in a timely
fashion.

It is just a simple program and i want to schedule it to close every night
before backup. Then i thought it would be easy if I run the program as a
service.

I have tried to use different administrator accounts and so on.. without
result.

Any idea?

You could walk around the problem by running the program
as an application, then use kill.exe to shut it down.
