autoit equivalent for net start and stop

[roofninja]

I have done some searching through the forums and I am not sure if there are any internal commands in autoit for it, but I have to ask.

Are there any internal commands that will do a net start or net stop like you can in a bat file?

You can use the Run function for running batch commands.

e.g.

Run('net start "print spooler"')

Best way is to use WMI.

Here's an example:

$objWMI = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\localhost\root\cimv2")
$srvcName = "Spooler"
$services = $objWMI.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_Service Where Name ='" & $srvcName & "'")

For $srvc in $services
    $srvc.StartService()
Next

And here's the Microsoft Doco that tells you how to use WMI: Win32_Service Class

Enjoy.
