Summary: open3 and daemon

Initial Comment:
open3 blocks in combination with a daemon.
here is the example-code:

################################################################################
require 'win32/open3'
require 'win32/daemon'
include Win32
################################################################################
COMPUTER_NAME = 'test'
LOGFILE = 'C:\test.txt'
PSLOGGEDON_EXE = 'D:\pstools\psloggedon.exe'
################################################################################
class Daemon

  def service_main
    while running?
      # User ermitteln
      users = []
      i, o, e = Open3.popen3("#{PSLOGGEDON_EXE} -l \\#{COMPUTER_NAME}")
      i.close
      e.close
      o.readlines.each do |line|
        m = /^DOMAINNAME\(.*)$/.match line
        users << m[1] if m
      end
      o.close
      
      txt = "#{Time.new.strftime('%d.%m.%Y %H:%M')} - #{users.join(',')}"
      File.open(LOGFILE, 'a') { |file| file.puts txt }
      
      sleep 1 * 60
    
    end
  end
    def service_stop
    exit!
  end
end
################################################################################
Daemon.mainloop
################################################################################


The service/daemon looks for logged in users on a specific host and logs it to a file. The tool psloggedon (http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/sysinternals/bb897545.aspx ) 

When not using a service and calling the open3-stuff directly everything is ok. But when starting as a service the psloggedon.exe does not exit. I don't know why and debugging is quite hard.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
der flo

Hello!

Maybe problem is that STDIN, STDOUT  and STDERR are redirected to NULL when your code runs as service? Just guessing...
