use VFP exe as NT service , How to detect service stop request in prog

[mengzs]

Hi there,
I have a VFP EXE runing as a service in NT server. I want to detect the stop-service request from either NT or User, so I can do clean up.

Thanks

When the program starts create a table called requests
When someone requests a service add a record, and leave the records open,

When the request is completed either deleted aor datetime stamp the record as completed.

When the program shuts down, delete the table.

Write a program that monitors the directory for this table.
If table exist, NT service is not running
If Table has no records, No open client requests.

Thanks for reply.

My question is that the NT service(VFP EXE) is automatically run whenever the server is up. If someone go to "Control panel/Service" to stop my service(VFP EXE), how can I have know this kind stop-service request ? or If someone "End Task" on my service, How the program can detect it and accept or refuse the request ?

This should be "trapped" by an ON SHUTDOWN routine, but I've never run a VFP app as a service, so I don't know for sure.

"on shutdown" wouldn't work.

I am useing "SRVANY.EXE" for "VFP EXE" as an NT service.
