The following approach can be used to determine if the 4D Server on Windows is currently running as a service:

1. Create the following method:
   

   C_BOOLEAN($0) C_TEXT($sysProfile_t) $sysProfile_t:="C:\\Windows\\system32\\config\\systemprofile\\" $0:=(System folder(User Preferences_User)=$sysProfile_t)



2. Save the method as UTIL_RunningAsService


3. Set the method's 'Execute on Server' attribute to true


4. Use the method like this:
   

   If (UTIL_RunningAsService )     // the server is running as a service Else     // the server is not running as a service End if

Note: Some testing may be needed as the $sysProfile_t variable may need to be modified to match the system profile if this changes with different operating systems or if the service is running as someone other than the 'Local System'.
