                                  serviceProcessInstaller1;
private System.ServiceProcess.ServiceInstaller serviceInstaller1; 
public ProjectInstaller()
   InitializeComponent();
} 
p开发者_StackOverflowrivate void InitializeComponent() 
{ 
   this.serviceProcessInstaller1 = 
     new System.ServiceProcess.ServiceProcessInstaller(); 
   this.serviceInstaller1 = 
     new System.ServiceProcess.ServiceInstaller(); 
   this.serviceProcessInstaller1.Account = 
     System.ServiceProcess.ServiceAccount.LocalSystem;

   { 
       this.serviceInstaller1, 
       this.serviceInstaller1});
   }
}

You can use this code for service restarting:

using System.Diagnostics;

public static void RestartService(string serviceName)
{
var psi = new ProcessStartInfo("net.exe", "stop " + serviceName);
psi.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
psi.UseShellExecute = true;
psi.WorkingDirectory = Environment.SystemDirectory;
var st = Process.Start(psi);
st.WaitForExit();

psi = new ProcessStartInfo("net.exe", "start " + serviceName);
psi.UseShellExecute = true;
psi.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
psi.WorkingDirectory = Environment.SystemDirectory;
st = Process.Start(psi);
st.WaitForExit();

}

I got this code here, tested it and it worked. Use a timer with 15 minutes interval to call it every 15 minutes.

Few ways you could do this:

1. Change your service to be a light-weight stub that hosts your current process in an AppDomain. Use a timer service to unload and restart your AppDomain.

2. Create two services. Make the one service a timer and programatically restart this service using the ServiceController to access your service to stop and restart it.

You should not restart your complete service.
Instead you can create a timer within your service that triggers at regular intervals

Like this

private void StartTimer()
{
    System.Threading.Timer timer = 
        new System.Threading.Timer(
            TimerCompleted, 
            null, 
            TimeSpan.FromMinutes(15), 
            TimeSpan.FromMinutes(15));
}

private void TimerCompleted(object state)
{
    // Call your action here
    ProcessFiles();
}

Call StartTimer from your service start and put all your work in ProcessFiles.

But if you actually just want to monitor changes in a directory you might instead use a FileSystemWatcher. It can notify you of changes in the filesystem immediately when the occur.

• Create a batch file with following command:

  net stop "ServiceName" net start "ServiceName"

• Use windows scheduler and create a schedule which runs this script every 15 mins.
