Queries the current status for a service, returning an array of
information.
Parameters
servicename
The short name of the service.
machine
The optional machine name. If omitted, the local machine will be used.
Return Values
Returns FALSE on failure, otherwise returns an array consisting of the
following information:
ServiceType
The dwServiceType.
CurrentState
The dwCurrentState.
ControlsAccepted
Which service controls are accepted by the service.
Win32ExitCode
If the service exited, the return code from the process.
ServiceSpecificExitCode
If the service exited with an error condition, the service specific
code that is logged in the event log is visible here.
CheckPoint
If the service is shutting down, holds the current check point number.
This is used by the SCM as a kind of heart-beat to detect a wedged service
process. The value of the check point is best interpreted in
conjunction with the WaitHint value.
WaitHint
If the service is shutting down it will set WaitHint to a checkpoint
value that will indicate 100% completion. This can be used to
implement a progress indicator.
ProcessId
The windows process identifier. If 0, the process is not running.
