This is a quick update to my last article on Running Buildbot as a Windows XP Service. There was an interesting comment posted by jdpipe regarding the previous article . He offered a nice solution for some issues I was having with environment variables and stopping the Buildbot service. You can check out the article he wrote about it at https://pse.cheme.cmu.edu/wiki/view/Ascend/BuildBot.
He recommends using a python script instead of a batch file to ensure the build environment is setup correctly. By using a python script the service now launches pythonw.exe directly. This solves the Buildbot service issue where it’s not able to stop or restart properly as a result of being launched from a batch file. The article by jdpipe has excellent information on setting this up along with some pictures to help illustrate the process.
