Note: There is a new implementation available - Corionis Service Manager.NET that is a complete re-write in Microsoft C# and .NET and has a few new features. Check it out!

Note: This is the development section of the project. If you just want to use the Corionis Service Manager go to the user site at https://corionis.github.io/CorionisServiceManager/.

Technically, the Corionis Service Manager is a Windows tray application for monitoring and managing selected Windows services. The user may select any number of the Windows services available on their computer. Various operations may be performed such as start and stop. The monitored list changes color and a notification is displayed when a service's state changes.

Tools

The program is written using AutoIt, a freeware BASIC-like scripting language. AutoIt was chosen for this project because:

1. AutoIt scripts may be compiled to a normal binary EXE program.
2. When compiled there are no other dependencies or requirements.
3. AutoIt is feature-rich and provides all the capabilties needed for the project.

The MSI installer is built with the free version of Advanced Installer. They provide one download that is capable of enabling many advanced features - that will cost if you continue to use it past the 30-day evaluation. However, for the Corionis Service Manager only the free features have been used so CSM installers may continue to be built past the 30-day evaluation, which is legal and proper.
