Creating Windows service using sc.exe

[mpezeur]

Trying to setup a Windows service, using sc.exe (resource kit) that will call a .bat file.
The bat file performs the following:

- Starts 3 Windows services (they have to be started in a particular order) via net start

- maps a network drive to k:

When I try to start the service via "Services" I receive the error "The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." and nothing happens.

I used the following command to create it:

sc create ServiceName binPath= c:\winnt\drivemap.bat type= own start= auto

What am I doing wrong?

I could be wrong here, but seems to me you can only make .EXE files a service with that procedure.

Have you considered using Task Schedualer to run your 3 batch files?

NT4 resource kit had a utility called SRVANY which could create Services to run .BAT files. This can be used with Windows2000 OK.
