win32_delete_service

(PECL win32service SVN)

Deletes a service entry from the SCM database

mixed win32_delete_service ( string $servicename [, string $machine ] )

Attempts to delete a service from the SCM database. Administrative privileges are required for this to succeed.

This function really just marks the service for deletion. If other processes (such as the Services Applet) are open, then the deletion will be deferred until those applications are closed. If a service is marked for deletion, further attempts to delete it will fail, and attempts to create a new service with that name will also fail.

Parameters:

servicename

The short name of the service.

machine

The optional machine name. If omitted, the local machine will be used.

Returns:

Returns WIN32_NO_ERROR on success, FALSE if there is a problem with the parameters or a Win32 Error Code on failure.

Examples:

A win32_delete_service() example
