Hi,

I though about it a bit more, and I can do it quite simply in other ways

What I was trying to do was to run a script when another service has started.  This script then exits.

It's simple enough to run that script from the service start.

Heh hoh :)

hehe yeah, from your question, it did seem like you were trying to use a sawzall to remove a nail ; D

 

I'm sure you'll find a more elegant and simplified approach to the problem.
