Good morning to all of you
it's the first time I write in this forum, if I'm wrong I beg you to
forgive me.
I'm writing a service for Windows using a TDaemon.
I would like to be able to perform the service installation by
specifying a file path ( or two) as a parameter.
How can I do ?
I tried to look for documentation, but I did not find anything.
Sorry if my English is not perfect.
Thank you all

Hello Beppeoioi,
Welcome to the forum.

I don' know much about daemons and services but I found these info,
which I think may be useful for you:

Hi Handoko,
thanks for the reply.
I have already read the links you have posted to me but I have not
found answers to my question.
I created a watchdog service.
He monitors the presence of a process in memory and when he does not
find it, he launches the executable.
I manually entered the path of the executable in the code, but I would
like to be able to indicate which process to monitor through a
parameter to the installation of the service.
Is there anyone who has any ideas?
Thanks again

StartService has lpServiceArgVectors parameter. You can pass params
through "sc start MyService Param1 Param2", or "net start MyService
/Param1 /Param2" or through GUI "Start parameters" box.
