I've just started learning the language and went through some of the
packages that deal with file operations and that went well. Has anyone had
experience with starting and stopping windows services? I went and ran a go
get on package: "golang.org/x/sys/windows/svc/mgr". Looking around and
that seems like the correct package to be using? I wanted to do a simple
program to start the Printer Spooler service a windows 7 machine as a test
but I seem to be striking out.
package main
import (
"golang.org/x/sys/windows/svc/mgr"
"fmt"
)
func startService(name string) error {
m, err := mgr.Connect()
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("Cannot connect to manager %v", err)
}
defer m.Disconnect()
s, err := m.OpenService(name)
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("service %s does not exist", name)
}
defer s.Close()
s.Start()
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("could not start the service: %v", err)
}
return nil
}
func main() {
startService("Spooler")
}
If anyone has any examples or point out what I'm doing wrong I'd appreciate
it. Thanks in advance!
