Restarting self in a Topshelf service

Question

I'm using Topshelf to host a Windows service. I am looking to get the hosted service to call to have itself restarted upon certain events. I was wondering how to achieve this?

Thanks, Ben

Answer 1

call Environment.Exit(1); when u want restart service

then in HostFactory add Enable ServiceRecovery

HostFactory.Run(configure =>
            {
                configure.Service((ServiceConfigurator<Service> service) =>
                {

                    service.WhenStarted(s => s.Start());
                    service.WhenStopped(s => s.Stop());
                });

                //Setup Account that window service use to run.  
                configure.RunAsNetworkService();
                configure.SetServiceName("ServiceName");
                configure.SetDisplayName("ServiceName");
                configure.SetDescription("Description");
                configure.StartAutomaticallyDelayed();
                configure.EnableServiceRecovery(recoveryOption =>
                {
                    recoveryOption.RestartService(0);
                });

            });
