Win32_BaseService perl sample code
The foundations for Manageability in Windows is Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI; formerly WBEM) and WMI extensions for Windows Driver Model (WDM).
ActiveXperts Network Monitor provides the ability to build monitor check routines based on WMI. ActiveXperts has collected more than a hundred WMI samples. You can use these samples as a base for new check routines you can write yourself. The Win32_BaseService WMI class can be used in ActiveXperts Network Monitor to monitor your servers.
Description
The Win32_BaseService abstract WMI class represents executable objects that are installed in a registry database maintained by the Service Control Manager. The executable file associated with a service can be started at boot time by a boot program or by the system. It can also be started on-demand by the Service Control Manager. Any service or process that is not owned by a specific user, and that provides an interface to some functionality supported by the computer system, is a descendent (or member) of this class. Example: The dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) client service on a Windows NT/Windows 2000 computer system.
