## svcmgr

A very simple Windows app that puts itself in the tray.

![Example interface](/i/ui.png?raw=true "Example interface")

Add a shortcut to `shell:startup` and enjoy. May require admin access when launching.

Tray icon:

- uses _r/stopped.ico when service is stopped

- uses _r/running.ico when service is started

Clicking the tray icon opens a dialog where you can see/set config values.

A few easy to replace values in the code:

- `MY_SERVICE_NAME` the actual service name (minus the .exe; what shows in services.msc)

- `MY_SERVICE_NAME_FRIENDLY` the friendly name (shows as tooltip on hover)

The config for this program is looking in the registry:

- Looks under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CompanyName" (`MY_SERVICE_REGISTRY_PATH`)

- Looks for path to folder under "MyServiceInstallPath" (`MY_SERVICE_REGISTRY_INSTALL_PATH_KEY`)

- Tries to open a config "config.bin" (`CONFIG_FILE_NAME`)

You can replace the values in config.cpp (`MY_SERVICE_REGISTRY_PATH`, etc) or remove that altogether.
