Running telegram-send from a Windows Service

[mad-ady]

Hello! I have a python project that runs as a Windows service (via nssm - https://nssm.cc/). I've checked and it runs under the SYSTEM user. I've set up telegram-send from a terminal running as Administrator, and was able to configure it and test it, but when my service starts, I get the output of Please run: telegram-send --configure.

I'm trying to figure out how to do that under the SYSTEM user... Clearly, it's a Windows issue, but it may be relevant for other telegram-send users as well...

Here's what I did, for reference:

• Installed sysinternals tools: choco install sysinternals
• Use psExec to start a powershell as SYSTEM: https://powershell-guru.com/powershell-tip-53-run-powershell-as-system/ psexec.exe -i -s powershell.exe
• In the new powershell run telegram-send --configure
