The link you gave is not valid for my account.

Can u give me the Sample code?

[vigneshr6]

I used your logging program to run my go application as a service in windows.
But It did not work in linux.
Do you have any sample program for linux?

Github issues is not really a place to ask for help with writing your code. They are to report problems with the product.

You might be better go and check stackoverflow.com or ask the question there.

Use configuration file or pass args on install.

Or the library could pass the start arguments instead of ignoring them: #82 :)

I think it is the right place when the confusion is partly caused by a missing feature.

To configure service to run an executable with a given set of arguments, set https://godoc.org/github.com/kardianos/service#Config.Arguments to the arguments before install. Then when it is started the windows service manager will pass those arguments to the executable. To access them at runtime you should use https://golang.org/pkg/os/#Args .

Please let me know if this answers your questions.

Yes This is what I asked for
thanks @kardianos

@kardianos thanks for the answer. When given arguments in the config, the service starts and those args get passed to the service. What do I need to do now if I need to control a running service? Do I need to create another service instance via Service.new(), passing in the same config with the arguments given on start? Or does it just need the name of the Service?

Thanks a lot for your help!
