How do I have Presto create a Windows service with a specific user name and password?

Question

How do I have Presto create a Windows service with a specific user name and password? I'd post what I tried, but I'm not really sure where to start.

Answer 1

There are typically three steps to actually creating the service:

First, actually create the service:

/c sc create "$(serviceName) $(serviceNameSuffix)" binPath= "$(servicePath)"

Second, configure the user and password:

/c sc config "$(serviceName) $(serviceNameSuffix)" obj= "$(account)" password= "$(password)" start= auto

Third, start the service:

As you can see, you're simply using a Window's command prompt to do each of these. Whatever you can do at a command prompt, you can do in Presto.
