Hello Monks,

I'm trying to monitor a service on Win2k and I wrote the following script based on this node Simple WIN32 Service Test.

No matter what I do, I can't get the service to stop. I'm using PGPService just for testing. I'm actually going to be monitoring PCAnywhere's service. Anyway, does anyone know why this is not working?

use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::Service;
 
 #set up a hash of known service states
my %statcodeHash = (
     '1' => 'stopped.',
     '2' => 'start pending.',
     '3' => 'stop pending.',
     '4' => 'running.',
     '5' => 'continue pending.',
     '6' => 'pause pending.',
     '7' => 'paused.'
);
        
my (%serviceHash,%statusHash);
my ($key,$svc);

#go get 'em...
Win32::Service::GetServices("", \%serviceHash);

foreach $key(keys %serviceHash){
     my %statusHash;
     if ($serviceHash{"$key"} eq 'PGPService'){
       $svc = $serviceHash{"$key"};
     }
}

Win32::Service::GetStatus("", $svc, \%statusHash);
#if ($statusHash{"CurrentState"} =~ /4/){
Win32::Service::StopService('', $svc);
#}

print "$svc" . " is currently " . $statcodeHash{$statusHash{"CurrentSt
+ate"}} . "\n";

Which keeps producing  PGPService is currently running.

Thanks,
