Subject: win32 service - daemon

i think i understand how the process works,

require "rubygems"
require "win32/service"
require 'win32/daemon'
   include Win32

# Create a new service
Service.delete('netcat')
   Service.create('netcat', nil,
      :service_type       => Service::WIN32_OWN_PROCESS,
      :description        => 'just descriptgion',
      :start_type         => Service::AUTO_START,
      :error_control      => Service::ERROR_NORMAL,
      :binary_path_name   => 'c:\test\rscript.exe',
      :load_order_group   => 'Network',
      :dependencies       => ['W32Time','Schedule'],

      :display_name       => 'just displayg'
)

this writes to the registry, it also executes the the file as a service
which confuses me because i dont see Service.start anywhere and the
process only last for like 10...

the reason it only last for a few seconds, The service did not respond
to the start or control request in a timely fashion... sounds simple
right? so, i need to add code to the rscript.exe

require "rubygems"
require 'win32/daemon'
include Win32

class Daemon
   def service_main
      while running?
         sleep 3
         File.open("c:\\test.log", "a"){ |f| f.puts "service is running"
}
    # my program will do stuff here ? ? ? Right ???
      end
   end
   def service_stop
      exit!
   end
end
Daemon.mainloop

this script wont compile with rubyscript2exe

I need my executable to communicate with the service manager... this
daemon script wont compile so now im stumped... idk what else to try...
