Control Start/Stop Services

[coucou]

Hi,

Here bellow my script to add/copy French Language to Diskeeper.

In fact, Diskeeper Service it NOT completely stopped when the "DK781_FR.exe" (see script) start copying...wihtout success. Moreover, Diskeeper Service restart.

;Stop Diskeeper Service  
RunWait("net stop Diskeeper", "C:\windows\system32")

;Copy Diskeeper FR Language
$Lang = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International", "sLanguage")
If $Lang = "FRA" Then
    RunWait("DK781_FR.exe")
EndIf

;Start Diskeeper Service  
RunWait("net start Diskeeper", "C:\windows\system32")

Any Help on how to control the stop/start service (wait until the service is completely stop/start before the next command) be appreciated.

Regards

Hi,

there is a services udf.

Try using a loop until status is stopped.

You can get much more info on services from WMI, i.e. ".state" which can be "stopped" or "stopping" and "running" or "starting":

Global Const $wbemFlagReturnImmediately = 0x10, $wbemFlagForwardOnly = 0x20
Global $wbemFlags = BitOR($wbemFlagReturnImmediately, $wbemFlagForwardOnly)

$objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & @ComputerName & "\root\CIMV2")
$sQuery = "SELECT * FROM Win32_Service"
$colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery($sQuery, "WQL", $wbemFlags)

For $objItem In $colItems
    ConsoleWrite("Name: " & $objItem.Name & @LF)
    ConsoleWrite("Started: " & $objItem.Started & @LF)
    ConsoleWrite("State: " & $objItem.State & @LF & @LF)
Next

To only get results for one service change this:

$sQuery = "SELECT * FROM Win32_Service WHERE Name = 'ccEvtMgr'"

Reference: MSDN: Win32_Service:

State

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Current state of the base service.

The values are: "Stopped", "Start Pending", "Stop Pending", "Running", "Continue Pending", "Pause Pending",

"Paused", or "Unknown"

TNX PsaltyDS for yr help.

As i'm not script experimented, I confess that i don't know how to insert that control in my script muttley

;Stop Diskeeper Service  
RunWait("net stop Diskeeper", "C:\windows\system32")

;Here to insert the service control
;If Diskeeper Service is stop Then
  ;Copy Diskeeper FR Language
   $Lang = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International", "sLanguage")
     If $Lang = "FRA" Then
        RunWait("DK781_FR.exe")
     EndIf
;EndIf

;Start Diskeeper Service  
RunWait("net start Diskeeper", "C:\windows\system32")
;Here to insert the service control
;If Diskeeper Service is start Then
    Exit
;EndIf

I'll appreciate a ready made script

This method should work for you without using anything you are not familiar with already:

; Stop Diskeeper Service
RunWait("net stop Diskeeper", "C:\windows\system32")

; See if it's still running
$sTempFile = @ScriptDir & "\ServiceList.txt"
RunWait('net start > "' & $sTempFile & '"', "C:\windows\system32")
$sServiceList = FileRead($sTempFile)
If StringInStr($sServiceList, "Diskeeper") Then
    MsgBox(16, "Error", "Failed to stop Diskeeper service")
Else
; Copy Diskeeper FR Language
    $Lang = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International", "sLanguage")
    If $Lang = "FRA" Then RunWait("DK781_FR.exe")
    
; Start Diskeeper Service
    RunWait("net start Diskeeper", "C:\windows\system32")
    RunWait('net start > "' & $sTempFile & '"', "C:\windows\system32")
    $sServiceList = FileRead($sTempFile)
    If StringInStr($sServiceList, "Diskeeper") Then
        MsgBox(64, "Success", "Successfully restarted Diskeeper service")
    Else
        MsgBox(16, "Error", "Failed to restart Diskeeper service")
    EndIf
EndIf

...there is a services udf.

@Xenobiologist: Where? The efforts I have found have been pretty fragmentary. Is there a good Services.au3 UDF out there? Could you post a link to your favorite.

Edit: Found one by GEOSoft: Services UDF, don't know why it didn't come up in my earlier search.
