title: Execute shell command from service
body: <p>I am trying to execute a shell command from within a C# service that I created.  However, this command does not seem to execute.  As a standard console application, it works perfectly though, so I know there is no issue with the command itself or how it is being executed form within the code.  Can anyone tell me why this would not work?  Please keep in mind I am pretty new to C#, so this may just be a matter of my inexperience.  Below is the code from the service itself:</p>
  
  <pre><code>using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.Linq;
  using System.Text;
  using System.Management;
  using System.Diagnostics;
  using System.ServiceProcess;
  using System.Threading;
  
  namespace AdapterDisableTest
  {
      class Program : ServiceBase
      {
          //private static Timer workTimer;
  
          static void Main(string[] args)
          {
              ServiceBase.Run(new Program());
          }
  
          public Program()
          {
              this.ServiceName = "AdapterDisableTest";
          }
  
          protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
          {
              base.OnStart(args);
  
              Process myProcess = new Process();
  
              myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe";
              myProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = "controlvm test setlinkstate1 off";
              myProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
              myProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
              myProcess.Start();
  
          }
  
          protected override void OnStop()
          {
              base.OnStop();
  
              //TODO: clean up any variables and stop any threads
          }
  
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
