[users@httpd] Apache Service Monitor for non-Apache services
Hi!
Is it possible to monitor services other than Apache with the Apache
Service Monitor? I find it a nifty program, but viewing the status of
the single Apache process on my development workstation is not much of a
purpose. So, is it possible, e.g. to view the status of MySQL from the
monitor?
Thanks in advance.

Sure why not, one has the source.
Try adding the service/process one needs
to the C source code.
Below is a free Microsoft C/C++ compiler.
The Visual C++ Toolkit 2003, version 1.01
(released July 6, 2004) supplants version 1.0
(released April 16, 2004).
<quote>
The Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 includes
the core tools developers need to compile and link
C++ based applications for Windows and the .NET
Common Language Runtime:
Microsoft C/C++ Optimizing Compiler and Linker.
These are the same compiler and linker that ship
with Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional!
C Runtime Library and the C++ Standard Library,
including the Standard Template Library. These
are the same static-link libraries included with
Visual Studio. Microsoft .NET Framework Common
Language Runtime. Visual C++ can optionally build
applications that target the Common Language
Runtime (CLR).
Sample code. The toolkit includes four samples
designed to showcase the powerful new features of
the 2003 version, including new optimization capabilities,
features to improve code-security and robustness,
enhanced ISO C++ standards support, and the ability
to use the .NET Framework library and target the CLR.

Or
One can quickly write up a newer monitor
using the .NET Framework.
Remember one can also use the programming
language of your desire with .NET Framework.
But the .NET Framework comes with free C++,
JScript.NET, VB.NET and the CSharp (C#) compilers.

Not as it is. The rule for showing a service is:
if ((strstr(szBuf, "\\apache") != NULL)
&& strstr(szBuf, ".exe")
&& (strstr(szBuf, "--ntservice") != NULL
|| strstr(szBuf, "-k ") != NULL))
szBuf is the service's "image path". If you really want to, you could try
modifying the source to include the services you want. I'm very unsure what
the results would be.
There is also Windows' own Service Manager, which might not be as "nifty".

Robert Andersson

actually this document suggests that the apache service manager is for
apache - it does not say that it can monitor other services.
It sure seems to be for apache only.

As far as I can understand this text it says that you can control the
Apache services with the NET commands, and the Apache Service Monitor
can also manage the fake services used on Windows 9x operating system
and has nothing to do with using 'foreign' services.

Quoting from
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/platform/windows.html
---------
Once you have confirmed that Apache runs correctly as a console
application you can install, control and uninstall the pseudo-service
with the sahttp://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/platform/windows.htmlme
commands as on Windows NT. You can also use the Apache Service Monitor
to manage Windows 9x pseudo-services.
