 I need to write a program that will check the status of a service on a Win2k Server, stop it if it is running and then restart it. Is there any way to do this with VDS? |

Well, just in case anybody is curious, there are two programs that are included with windows that can be used to start and stop services. Both files should be in the C:\windows\system32 or C:\winnt\system32 folder. BTW, both are console programs.
The first is the net.exe file. Usage is "net start service_name" or "net stop service_name". The other is more of a debugging tool which is nice because it gives more detailed info about the service. It is the sc.exe file. Usage is "sc start service_name", "sc stop service_name" or if you want to find out the status of the service, "sc query service_name".
If anyone was looking into this for me, thanks anyway. |
