Ruby Windows script with Win32API

Done

I have written a ruby script to capture key presses and print those in file

Code is similar to this

https://github.com/bgnash/kopykat/blob/master/kopykat.rb

I have used ocra to make window service

After completion

When I register this service in windows , service is running but nothing get printed in file

Alternative

Now I made the exe version of script and again tested in windows now I can see printed key presess names in the file

Issue to fix

I want to run this script in service with working state. Any help??

MY SIMPLE QUESTION IS CAN WE USE WIN32API IN WINDOWS SERVICE

Solution

  • Eventually I came up with solution that in running service we can't get benefit of WINAPI, So for I have to use dotnet wrapper (tray app) to run my ruby exe and its running in the Tray, And guess but it is running awesome..
