Comment Feed for Channel 9 - Trigger Started Services http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/previewImages/100/479582_100x75.jpg Channel 9 - Trigger Started Services The Windows operating system features built-in infrastructure services (Service Control Manager and Task Scheduler) that help manage background processes. Windows takes advantage of the built-in services to provide system management, device management, and system maintenance functionality.  Significant improvements have been made to this infrastructure for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. Developers can use these improvements to develop Windows services that are efficient and that contribute to the overall system performance and security. For example, a service can register to be started or stopped when a trigger event occurs. This eliminates the need for services to start when the system starts, or for services to poll or actively wait for an event; a service can start when it is needed, instead of starting automatically whether or not there is work to do. Watch this demo to see an illustration of how to develop a service which starts on system triggered events. Learn more at the MSDN Library.  See the step-by-step guide with sample code. en Sun, 19 May 2013 17:25:39 GMT Sun, 19 May 2013 17:25:39 GMT Rev9 Re: Trigger Started Services Hi.

We have recently created "Service Trigger Editor", a free GUI utility for adding/editing/viewing Service Triggers:

For those who want to explore Trigger-Start services, it is a good alternative to using the SC.exe command (or writing your own code).
