_WinServices UDF (My first one)


Scriptonize
 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi everybody,

Here is my first UDF.

It's an ongoing project.

Several functions will be added in the near future.

Before adding them,

I would like you all to give it a try and comment on it.

Surely there must be made some improvement to the script.

Thanks

[[EDIT]]

As GEOSoft correctly pointed me to existing code, I will not post any updates.

(I don't want to invent the wheel twice) >_<

Feel free to comment on the existing part, I'm still eager to learn.

[[/EDIT]]

With this UDF you can start, stop, pause, resume etc your windows services (by using COM).

Good job!

I don't have any direct use for it right now. BUT when I get some time I'd like make up a script to set the services to their "optimum" condition (ie automatic/manual/disabled). Come to think of it your script/udf in it's current stage would be useful for games (ie stop/pause all non essential services while playing and start them again when the game is over. Who needs windows updates when there are aliens to kill. >_<

How about adding a function(s) to handle "startup type" automatic/manual/disabled would be useful.

Thanks for sharing!

Possibly because of this?

The difference between yours and mine compared to the others?

We are using WMI do do the work and WMI is an often disabled service so if it's not running, the code won't work. The others are using DLL calls which is a better method.

It's such a shame that WMI is so unreliable as it could be such a great tool. >_<

Anyway GEOSoft, what is your suggestion as to the best (DLL) based services control script?

Thanks

It is a great tool and I have nothing against using it for some tasks. Starting and stopping a sevice isn't one of them since you can't use WMI to start the WMI service.

This one is probably the more complete of the two. You could use it to start the WMI service if it's stopped and then do whatever you want with WMI.

@GEOsoft and @Storme.

I agree using API is a safer approach since the outcome will be more reliable for the reason mentioned.

Also, WMI is a set of very powerful tools (too bad that it is not that often used).

However, I use the WMI approach for 3 reasons:

  • The API approach has already been done here.
  • I'm using the script(s) on our test servers (W2K3 with WMI up and running) and will deploy them in the production environment as soon asI'm satisfied with the results.
  • For learning purposes, thus improving my skills on AutoIT.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. Edited by Scriptonize

The WMI approach has been done too. >_<

My website (in my sig) >> Code >> My UDF's >> Services. But like you said, it's good practice. If you plan on using a lot o WMI then you might want to take a look at the compiled version of AutoIt Scriptomatic. That's also in my signature.

G'day GEOSoft

You mentioned before about using the services (API version) to activate WMI if it's deactivated.

As I have no idea where to start is there any chance you could whip up a quick script that could be added to any script that uses WMI to ensure it's running.

EG

_initWMI() - Return value - true (all is well) False (WMI not working)

It could be added to any script needing WMI to ensure they work...

What do you think? Worthwhile or worthless?

??? If you don't have the time let me know (PM) and I'll have a go myself. Sounds like an interesting project.

Thanks

My bad, I missed that completely.

Well, I guess I write the UDF for personal use then. :(

I'm gonna take a look at your website.

As you may see in services.au3 (API approach), there is a function named "_Service_Running"

You could use this one to check if WMI is running, if not then use the function "_Service_Start" from the same UDF, to start up WMI

I may have a "play" with that tonight. I'm thinking a single function with all the code in it (no includes) so that it can just be added to any WMI project.

I was also thinking about "other things" that may stop WMI from working. Any idea of what/how to check for these and what/how to fix them.

Thanks!

I don't have the time at the moment but here's a hint for you. From the commandline

Hi everybody,

Here is my first UDF.

It's an ongoing project.

Hello -

in the afternoon I modified an existing software from Run cmd / send net stop ... with include your soft. I look a service is running or not, stop it, modify settinge by RegWrite and start it again - seems to be working fine, thanks!

A small problem was, I have to look for the real service-name, the language-depending names from Net start / Net stop in the cmd-window are not working.

First tests I made with XP-SP2-German, now in Win_2000-German because it has to work on it.
