My Operating System is XP - SP2 Do we need to set any environemtn varibale before we run the above command. Can you please help me out ? Thank You Note:- My requirment in that from my web page i need to call some ruby scipt sctipt to know about the status of a particular Services say “DB2” and display the same in the web page as Running or Stopped or Starting or Stopping etc as the states. So i think we can do this using the win32-service / 0.5.0 rt? ---

It seems that you have several windows.h files. Check INCLUDE and LIB environment variable It should include something like this C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\VC7\PlatformSDK\include; C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\VC7\PlatformSDK\lib; In case of your failure, you can download binary file at [http://home.nownuri.net/~phasis/service.so](http://home.nownuri.net/~phasis/service.so) > Note:- My requirment in that from my web page i need to call some ruby > scipt sctipt to know about the status of a particular Services say “DB2” > and display the same in the web page as Running or Stopped or Starting > or Stopping etc as the states.
