[Xymon] win32 svcs monitoring

[Neil Simmonds]

Hi Malcolm,

I’ve tested this and it makes no difference as you suggested it wouldn’t.

Having looked further at it I think you are right and it’s something in Xymon that is causing this especially as it is in central mode this happens. Unfortunately I can’t read C well enough to see where.

Cheers,
Neil.

Corrected. However, these messages are in the local mode code, not central. I have a feeling this is a Xymon issue.

I've just been looking at this again as this is still causing confusion. I've been looking at the svcs.cpp part of the BBWin code and while I'm not a programmer, I noticed that in 2 places the word "stopped" is actually spelt "stoppped". It's just a feeling but it might be that it is causing the false status to be reported.
