Inquire Service Status (Response) on Multiplatforms

The response to the Inquire Service Status (MQCMD_INQUIRE_SERVICE_STATUS) command consists of the response header followed by the ServiceName structure and the requested combination of attribute parameter structures.

If a generic service name was specified, one such message is generated for each service found.

    Always returned:
    ServiceName

    Returned if requested:
    ProcessId, ServiceDesc, StartArguments, StartCommand, StartDate, StartMode, StartTime, Status, StderrDestination, StdoutDestination, StopArguments, StopCommand
