Manage Windows Services

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks,
I need to write a script for the following scenario.

The user of the script will be a restricted user. ClearCase client is install on his machine and running as windows service. Since he is an restricted user, he unable to start/stop that service. Only administrators are able to do that.

To avoid this, I need a script which will start the services as a privileged user. Something like 'Run as' option.

Can anybody tell me the way or resources(links) which will help me find a solution for this?

Thanks,

I have collected some links to resources about Perl in the context of Windows Services... but it's mostly about how to run a Perl program as a service, so I'm not sure exactly how useful these will be for your purposes. But here they are, just in case: Re: Perl Console Window Re: Win NT user impersonation in Perl Socket Server as a background process Download details: Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit Support Tools Turning a Perl Program into an NT Service - The Perl Journal, Fall 1999 Windows Server 2003 Technical Reference How To Create a User-Defined Service Create your own user-defined services Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 (Windows NT/2000/XP/2003) - TACKtech Corp.
