This is a simple test to see the status of WIN32 services. On Windows NT4. I have to give barndoor credit for the WIN32::Service reference because today is the first time I saw it. After playing with it, I figured I would try to get all services and their status. One problem: Some services don't seem to return a CurrentState value. I decided to ignore these and only stick with the set that barndoor has provided.

use Win32::Service;
 
 #set up a hash of known service states
my %statcodeHash = (
     '1' => 'stopped.',
     '2' => 'start pending.',
     '3' => 'stop pending.',
     '4' => 'running.',
     '5' => 'continue pending.',
     '6' => 'pause pending.',
     '7' => 'paused.'
);
        
my %serviceHash;

 #go get 'em...
Win32::Service::GetServices("", \%serviceHash);

foreach $key(keys %serviceHash){
     my %statusHash;
     Win32::Service::GetStatus("", "$key", \%statusHash);
     if ($statusHash{"CurrentState"} =~ /[1-7]/){
          print $serviceHash{"$key"} . " is currently " . $statcodeHas
+h{$statusHash{"CurrentState"}} . "\n";
     }
}
