<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QtServiceController class allows you to control services from separate applications.</p>
<p>QtServiceController provides a collection of functions that lets you install and run a service controlling its execution, as well as query its status.</p>
<p>In order to run a service, the service must be installed in the system's service database using the <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#install">install</a>() function. The system will start the service depending on the specified <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#StartupType-enum">StartupType</a>; it can either be started during system startup, or when a process starts it manually.</p>
<p>Once a service is installed, the service can be run and controlled manually using the <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#start">start</a>(), <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#stop">stop</a>(), <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#pause">pause</a>(), <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#resume">resume</a>() or <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#sendCommand">sendCommand</a>() functions. You can at any time query for the service's status using the <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#isInstalled">isInstalled</a>() and <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#isRunning">isRunning</a>() functions, or you can query its properties using the <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#serviceDescription">serviceDescription</a>(), <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#serviceFilePath">serviceFilePath</a>(), <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#serviceName">serviceName</a>() and <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#startupType">startupType</a>() functions. For example:</p>
<pre> MyService service; \\ which inherits QtService
QString serviceFilePath;
QtServiceController controller(service.serviceName());
if (controller.install(serviceFilePath))
controller.start()
if (controller.isRunning())
QMessageBox::information(this, tr("Service Status"),
tr("The %1 service is started").arg(controller.serviceName()));
...
controller.stop();
controller.uninstall();
}</pre>
<p>An instance of the service controller can only control one single service. To control several services within one application, you must create en equal number of service controllers.</p>
<p>The QtServiceController destructor neither stops nor uninstalls the associated service. To stop a service the <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#stop">stop</a>() function must be called explicitly. To uninstall a service, you can use the <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#uninstall">uninstall</a>() function.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qtservicebase.html">QtServiceBase</a> and <a href="qtservice.html">QtService</a>.</p>

<h2>Member Type Documentation</h2>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="StartupType-enum"></a>enum QtServiceController::StartupType</h3>
<p>This enum describes when a service should be started.</p>
<p><table class="valuelist" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" width="100%">
<tr><th width="25%">Constant</th><th width="15%">Value</th><th width="60%">Description</th></tr>
<tr><td valign="top"><tt>QtServiceController::AutoStartup</tt></td><td align="center" valign="top"><tt>0</tt></td><td valign="top">The service is started during system startup.</td></tr>

</table></p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> The <i>StartupType</i> enum is ignored under UNIX-like systems. A service, or daemon, can only be started manually on such systems with current implementation.</p>

<h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="dtor.QtServiceController"></a>QtServiceController::~QtServiceController () <tt> [virtual]</tt></h3>
<p>Destroys the service controller. This neither stops nor uninstalls the controlled service.</p>
<p>To stop a service the <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#stop">stop</a>() function must be called explicitly. To uninstall a service, you can use the <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#uninstall">uninstall</a>() function.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#stop">stop</a>() and <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#uninstall">QtServiceController::uninstall</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="install"></a>bool QtServiceController::install ( const <a href="http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/qstring.html">QString</a> & <i>serviceFilePath</i>, const <a href="http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/qstring.html">QString</a> & <i>account</i> = QString(), const <a href="http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/qstring.html">QString</a> & <i>password</i> = QString() ) <tt> [static]</tt></h3>
<p>Installs the service with the given <i>serviceFilePath</i> and returns true if the service is installed successfully; otherwise returns false.</p>
<p>On Windows service is installed in the system's service control manager with the given <i>account</i> and <i>password</i>.</p>
<p>On Unix service configuration is written to <a href="http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/qsettings.html#Scope-enum">QSettings::SystemScope</a> using "QtSoftware" as organization name. <i>account</i> and <i>password</i> arguments are ignored.</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> Due to the different implementations of how services (daemons) are installed on various UNIX-like systems, this method doesn't integrate the service into the system's startup scripts.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#uninstall">uninstall</a>() and <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#start">start</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="isInstalled"></a>bool QtServiceController::isInstalled () const</h3>

<p>On Unix it checks configuration written to <a href="http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/qsettings.html#Scope-enum">QSettings::SystemScope</a> using "QtSoftware" as organization name.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#install">install</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="isRunning"></a>bool QtServiceController::isRunning () const</h3>

If the service's state is <a href="qtservicebase.html#ServiceFlag-enum">QtServiceBase::CanBeSuspended</a>, the service will call the <a href="qtservicebase.html#pause">QtServiceBase::pause</a>() implementation. The function does nothing if the service is not running.</p>
<p>Returns true if a running service was successfully paused; otherwise returns false.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qtservicecontroller.html#resume">resume</a>(), <a href="qtservicebase.html#pause">QtServiceBase::pause</a>(), and <a href="qtservicebase.html#ServiceFlag-enum">QtServiceBase::ServiceFlags</a>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="resume"></a>bool QtServiceController::resume ()</h3>
