All I need to do is create a program that lists all running services on my Windows machine. I have tried a number of methods including psutil to no avail. I have since tried to simplify it by just trying to execute the "net stat" command. It works, but the output is garbled. Is there anyway to save this to a text file nice and neat? Also, I'd like to append the word 'Running' next to each line. When I try to add that I get the following error:
File "./Python37/test3.py", line 3, in print(str(result.stdout + 'running')) TypeError: can't concat str to bytes
Here is my code so far:
import subprocess
result = subprocess.run(['net', 'start'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
print(str(result.stdout + 'running'))
Use EnumServicesStatus API like this :
import win32con
import win32service
def ListServices():
resume = 0
accessSCM = win32con.GENERIC_READ
accessSrv = win32service.SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS
#Open Service Control Manager
hscm = win32service.OpenSCManager(None, None, accessSCM)
#Enumerate Service Control Manager DB
typeFilter = win32service.SERVICE_WIN32
stateFilter = win32service.SERVICE_STATE_ALL
statuses = win32service.EnumServicesStatus(hscm, typeFilter, stateFilter)
for (short_name, desc, status) in statuses:
print(short_name, desc, status)
ListServices();
