Profinity V2 IS NOW IN EARLY ADOPTER RELEASE

Profinity V2 is available now in Early Adopter Release. To support this release we are making the product available to our Early Adopter Community. If you have any issues or feedback please report it via our support portal or via the Feedback form in the Profinity Admin menu.

Service Scripts

Service scripts are designed for continuous, long-running operations that need to maintain state and respond to system events. They operate similarly to Windows services, with full lifecycle management and multiple startup modes. These scripts are ideal for critical monitoring tasks, continuous data logging, and system-level operations that need to run reliably over extended periods.

Characteristics

  • Continuous execution with service-like behavior
  • Service state management methods
  • Support for service lifecycle management

Examples

The following examples demonstrate how to implement Service scripts in each supported language. Each example shows the complete lifecycle management of a service, including start, stop, pause, continue, and shutdown operations. These examples represent the minimum implementation needed for a functional Service script.

This example demonstrates a Service script that:

  • Implements all required lifecycle methods
  • Shows proper service state management
  • Uses the Profinity console for logging
  • Handles service state transitions
