Using ProcDump to obtain the dump of a service?

Does anybody know if its possible/ how to use ProcDump to obtain the dump of a windows service? The command I want to run is like this:

ProcDump -e -mp -x myservice.exe mydump.dmp

However I get the Cannot Start Service from command line or debugger message. Does anybody know if there is a way around this?

Solution

  • OK After I bit of playing around I found out how to do this, the command I needed was: Procdump -e -mp 14312 mydump.dmp where 14312 is the process id of the service, you can find this in task manager in the services tab.
