[General]

This section contains the general settings for the Windows service.

ServiceDisplayName=<string>

The display name of the service is what the Windows Services Panel shows in the 'Name' column. On its properties page it is called 'Display name'. This is also identical to the parameter lpDisplayName of CreateService ().

ServiceDescription=<string>

A short description for the service. On Windows Services Panel's properties page this is called 'Description'. Although there does not seem to be a restriction on Windows, ServiceExe only accepts the first 499 characters of the service's description.

StartUpPause=<value>

After ServiceExe has been invoked StartUpPause specifies a pause time in seconds for the software to wait before the service tasks are started. This can speed up the time a machine reboot takes if set to an appropriate value. The default value is 0 seconds, meaning that ServiceExe will start the defined service process(es) as soon as it has been started itself.

CreateProcessPause=<value>

This value is similar to StartUpPause with the exception that it specifies the pause time after a new process has been created. If ServiceExe has to start many applications (processes) a delay after each process has been created can reduce the overall time it takes for the system to have all of them finally up and running. The default value is 0 seconds. This means that ServiceExe will not pause after it has created a new process.

LogPath=<path string>

If ServiceExe works with the logging DLL logtext.dll this key provides a folder name where the software can store log files. The default folder for log files is the folder where ServiceExe.exe itself resides. The string <path string> supports embedded environment variables. More information on process logging with ServiceExe and Logtext can be found at Process logging.

ServiceProcesses=<process1> [<process2>] [<process3>] ...

This lists all service process tasks. Each application that is supposed to run as a Windows service by the same ServiceExe requires its own process task section in the configuration file.
