I would like to know if there is any way to stop/start a windows service with flutter/dart.
I intend to develop an windows application to assist in the ERP deployment. In some cases I need to restart the service after changing the configuration.

I need on my Windows an IIS, but the service should be stopped by default (i.e. at windows startup).
It is possible to deactivate the Service by default?
this service runs on a Notebook, an I want to save my ressources
thanks
Hi I have a console app which I need to start up when Windows Server 2012 starts and without needing to login. I've done a bit of research and people advise a windows service is the correct approach, however the links are quite old and I wanted to confirm this is still the case, or indeed correct at all. Cheers.
Yes, Windows Service is still the most popular way to write and run servers and or a 'daemon' in Windows OS.
Depending on what your application is doing, you might have other options though, e.g. hosting an application in IIS (Microsoft's Web server application in Windows Server).
More recently, Microsoft has been working with Docker to also allow the use of containerized application deployments, which is available in new versions of Windows Server (Windows Server 2016).
Here are a few resources for more reading:

I'm a very beginner in Windows Apps. I created a Windows Service app to send mail automatically at a specific time daily. Its taking some configuration values from app.config file. Also there is a web reference too in the service application. Then I installed the app using
InstallUtil /i %myapppath%\windowsservicevb.exe
It worked fine. But with less knowledge in this Windows service application I've no idea how to install that in Azure. Do I just need the exe file or I need to copy the app.config file also into the same directory in Azure?
You need to migrate your windows service on to a worker role in azure if you are going for azure PaaS. example here - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mwasham/archive/2011/03/30/migrating-a-windows-service-to-windows-azure.aspx
Although if you are on an azure - IaaS VM then it is going to be the same as in the case of a windows machine locally.
I have attached the process for my windows service which is running/started on my machine. In vs.net 2010 I have a few breakbpoints set in my service, but each of them says?:
'break point will not currently be hit'
what is the easiest way to get the debugging for windows services happening?
This is the correct way to debug the windows service but you should be sure that the files of the windows service are updated. I mean that whenever you build the windows service project you should stop the service, replace the windows service exe and the related dlls and then restart the windows service.
We've created a windows service to detect the insertion of a particular usb device.
That service is then supposed to launch an application we have written.
We initially made a setup project for our application and a separate one for the windows service.
Now, we are trying to get the service and the application installed in the same setup project.
We tried putting the output of our service into the setup project but without any luck.
We have the a projectinstaller class in the service, so why can't we simply add the project output of the Windows service (including the installer class) to our application's setup project?
There is MSDN article explains it, Create the installers for your service. Microsoft support also have an article, How to create a setup project for a Windows Service application in Visual C#
My primary language is Delphi. In Delphi, when a program is created as Service Application,
installing the program as a Windows Service can be done by running my_service_app_name.exe /INSTALL. I guess, the execution mechanism should be roughly same with service applications created by other compilers.
Thus, adding a windows service to an existing application installer can be done by just running the service application as mentioned, but you should refer to the documentation in case you are not using Delphi.
