Hi all,
In any Windows Service I can set the Startup type either Automatic, Manual or Disabled, on its properties window.
Ok, I change the Startup type to Automatic on one of my own service. Can I schedule a starting time of it. Say I want to start it 12:00:00 hours. Is there any option to do it.
I search on the Services properties, but no luck. Anyone know that how to do it?
Thanks,
You can do that in your application. Or with the windows task scheduler. If you use the latter then you won't be able to install it as a service.
I suggest you use a timing mechanism in your program to carry out the operation.
Yes I do. Simply use a Timer in application(C# .Net service) and I'm confusing with how to deal that initial step. So that's why I'm looking and general way to do it. :)
Check the time as your timer ticks its events away before starting, or use a scheduled task to run net start "your service name".
Is this a daily thing or first-time-only?
I have planed one thing to do now. Rather looking on a exact time, I try to deal with a time interval. So I don't want to worry about the starting time.
And also, for your question, yes this is only for the first-time.
