Have you ever wanted to manage your services on Windows, Linux and OS X? Currently, you have to teach yourself different techniques to add, remove or modify services (or daemons). All these techniques involve command line tools and script files.

Well, search no more! Now with the ServiceManager you have a GUI tool with which to manage services. On Window NT 4 and up, the ServiceManager interfaces natively with the Service Manager the system uses. No more having to use sc.exe! And on OS X and Linux, you can use the ServiceManager to manage your xinetd daemons. No more messing around with script files!

ServiceManager was written with REALbasic and is freely distributed.

ServiceManager for Windows (requires Windows Windows 2000, Windows XP or up)
ServiceManager for OS X (requires OS 10.2 or higher)
ServiceManager for Linux (requires x86 Linux, kernel 2.4 or higher w/Gtk2 installed)
Source code for ServiceManager (requires REALbasic 5.5.2 or higher)

If you have any questions, bugs or other feedback, please contact me at aaron@realsoftware.com.

Have you found that the ServiceManager has helped you out of a bind? Has it made your life a lot easier? Then maybe you'd like to donate some money to help out with maintenance costs!
