Hi friends,

Name of current service in case the same exe was setup as multiple services

Is there a way to get the service name from C# that the current service was registered with when it was installed.

For instance, I register the same service twice:
sc.exe create ServiceName1 binPath= D:\myservice.exe
sc.exe create ServiceName2 binPath= D:\myservice.exe

I have installed both services. I want to kill sc.exe of ServiceName1, how to check whether sc.exe belongs to ServiceName1.

Please help me.

Thanks,
-RG

You'll want to use the ServiceController class from System.ServiceProcess. A simple example:

C#

using System;
using System.ServiceProcess;

public class ServiceUtil
{
    public static void StopService(string pName)
    {
        try
        {
            ServiceController sc = new (pName, Environment.MachineName);
            if (sc.Status == ServiceControllerStatus.Running) sc.Stop();
        }

        catch (ArgumentException)
        {
            // service does not exist
        }
    }
}
