How to Start or Stop Windows Services

[dreamzboy]

Hi Everyone,

As the title stated, I want to run a script to stop certain Windows Services and then Start them again. Is there a command to do this? Can someone provide me an example or shine some light on me? I know there's a way to do it using Batch File, but if I can write it in AutoIT, I rather do it that way since it's cooler looking than the black dos screen.

Greatly appreciated.

;Return code
;0 = Success
;2 = Already Stopped / Started

$result = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c net stop server", @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE)

MsgBox(0,"",$result)

$result = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c net start server", @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE)

MsgBox(0,"",$result)

The message box showed up with the value 1 for result, but it did not stop the service. I'm not sure if I modified it correctly, can you justify?

Thanks,
