❔ Services communication in Windows Services
I need to create a service to start a service. It is possible?
The service that would be affected is a backup monitoring, the service i have to make is supposed to check if it is running by a timer, if it's not it should run it.
I just need to know if it is possible to make, and how to do that

seems like "create a service" is probably a poor solution for what you really want, but yes, there is a C# API for creating services, and a C# API for manipulating services
being the two services from Windows Services, how do i could communicate them? idk if this is a dumb question, im really really new on this
you don't
you communicate with the OS
which provides APIs for interacting with services
ServiceController Class (System.ServiceProcess)
Represents a Windows service and allows you to connect to a running or stopped service, manipulate it, or get information about it.
