How to check the current status of a service

[Ankitha Varsha]

Hi,

How can I check the status of the particular service using Qt?

Basically, I want to find out whether some service say "My Service" is running currently in the system or not. If yes, I need to enable some options in my GUI.

Note that I can not make use of MFC routines as I am porting the code from MFC to Qt and the project is cross-platform.

Any information would be helpful.

When you are talking about system level things, your code does become system dependent.
It is service in Windows and daemons in Linux. You will need #ifdef to code for each platform. How do you think Qt does it ? You can dig into the Qt source code and see yourself. You get a better idea.
