Checking Services on a Server

Question

Hi Can someone help? I need to write an application that will check whether a set of services are running on a server. The application will check every 5 minutes. I am aware of the ServiceController object that can check the status of a service but what I want to do is check the all the services running under a specific 'Log On As' rather than hard-code the name of the service. Does anyone know if there is an object that exposes the services as a collection so that I can write a foreach statement to check the services? Thanks Paul

Many thanks Lalit that's a great help the one property that the ServiceController does not seem to expose is the 'Log On As' user. Any ides how I can get hold of this? Thanks again Paul

Try this sample code // Check the status of this service to see if // it can be stopped bool bCanStop = controllers[i].CanStop; item.SetSubItem( 3  bCanStop ?  Yes :  No ); // Check if the service recieves notification when // system shuts down. bool bCanShutDown = controllers[i].CanShutdown; item.SetSubItem( 4  bCanShutDown ?  Yes :  No ); // Check if the service can be paused and continued. bool bPauseNContinue = controllers[i].CanPauseAndContinue; item.SetSubItem( 5  bPauseNContinue ?  Yes :  No ); show here details
