[python-win32] Setting service exit code on stop

[Mark Hammond]

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
