Checking Services on a Server

Question

Hi,
Can someone help? I need to write an application that will check whether a set of services are running on a server. The application will check every 5 minutes.
I am aware of the ServiceController object that can check the status of a service, but what I want to do is check the all the services running under a specific 'Log On As', rather than hard-code the name of the service.
Does anyone know if there is an object that exposes the services as a collection so that I can write a foreach statement to check the services?
Thanks
Paul

Many thanks Lalit, that's a great help, the one property that the ServiceController does not seem to expose is the 'Log On As' user. Any ides how I can get hold of this? Thanks again Paul

Try this sample code // Check the status of this service to see if // it can be stopped bool bCanStop = controllers[i].CanStop; item.SetSubItem( 3 , bCanStop ? " Yes" : " No" ); // Check if the service recieves notification when // system shuts down. bool bCanShutDown = controllers[i].CanShutdown; item.SetSubItem( 4 , bCanShutDown ? " Yes" : " No" ); // Check if the service can be paused and continued. bool bPauseNContinue = controllers[i].CanPauseAndContinue; item.SetSubItem( 5 , bPauseNContinue ? " Yes" : " No" ); show here details
