Re: Setting service exit code on stop

Do you mean the process exit code? There's no direct way to influence 
that, although you can probably just arrange to kill your own process - 
you'll need to manually ensure you've set the service status before you 
do this.

See also https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/issues/1563 where there's a 
request for something slightly different (specifically, for pywin32 to 
*not* update the status as STOPPED on an exception so Windows sees it as 
an abnormal exit) - but the work-around there is similar - just kill 
your own process.

A feature request would be fine, but a PR would be even better ;) Te 
feature request would need to be a very concrete proposal.

Cheers,

Mark
