07/21/2022, 10:50 AMA questiontion about commandbox servcie manager. If you stop the windows service, is the cf instance immediately stopped when the stop command returns? Or does it take a while for the instance to stop?

07/21/2022, 11:52 AMIn my experience with NSSM and the CB service manager, the windows service is just a mechanism for issuing start and stop commands. It doesn't actually care or know what the current state of the underlying server is when it does that… it just fires the command and forgets.
So, no… the actual server is not fully stopped/started just because the windows service reports that it's done (the only thing it's done with is running the command)

07/21/2022, 2:03 PM@birdy1980 Bobby is correct and that's just how Windows service work. Stop commands are basically async.

07/21/2022, 3:32 PMIf you are in a situation where you really need to do that, you might just update the start command in the service to "stop && start --console" or, if you are on commandbox 5.5.2+, you can just do a status check instead. "status && start --console".
I'm stuck with NSSM for the most part right now and updating from "start --console" to "stop && start --console" AND adding an environment variable to set box_config_nonInteractiveShell to true solved the issues I was having with the service getting out of sync with the actual server.
That said, none of that was necessary on the latest commandbox and service manager combination... just upgrading both to the latest got rid of any issues I was having with it.

07/21/2022, 3:50 PM@birdy1980 Are you trying to restart the service?

07/21/2022, 3:51 PMGenerally speaking, you can just sleep a few seconds and run the service start. if the server is still shutting down, it will just keep trying until it works 🙂

07/21/2022, 3:53 PMCombining this with your other question about
server info--jsonpropertybdw429s
07/21/2022, 3:54 PM Copy code
server info --json Copy code
server info property=statusb

07/21/2022, 6:29 PM@bdw429s I'm not trying to restart the service. I want to stop the service, make sure it is stopped, then empty out some temp folders, update the application. (If the CF is not stopped it might lock some of the files I'm trying to delete/update)

07/21/2022, 6:31 PMFair enough, my suggestion above still stands however on how to get the status programtically

07/21/2022, 6:32 PMI 'm already utilizing the property argument to get the status and server home directory 🙂

07/21/2022, 7:30 PMyeah... I'm still trying to get approval on more licenses. It's hard when I've solved the NSSM problems though. package-scripting the service setup alone is enough to make me want it lol

07/21/2022, 7:31 PMdefinitely better than NSSM though
