Restart Windows Service From Service

Question

Is there any way to restart a windows service from the same service , as Application.Restart() in Windows forms, I don't want to launch another process from the service to restart the service.

Hi! I am a developer for an open source windows service hosting framework called Daemoniq. Setting service recovery options is one of its features. You can download it from http://daemoniq.org

Current features include:

• container agnostic service location via the CommonServiceLocator
• set common service properties like serviceName, displayName, description and serviceStartMode via app.config
• run multiple windows services on the same process
• set recovery options via app.config
• set services depended on via app.config
• set service process credentials via command-line
• install, uninstall, debug services via command-line

Thanks!
