restart services on remote computer GUI

[FMS]

Dear reader,

I'm a little stuck in writting the script I want to build.

The anoying thing is : I know how to do it myself but not how to build it.

When u see the code u will understand what i mean

The mean problem is that i don't know how to use command line in[puts in autoit.

When is searching the help files of autoit i dint find anything usefull

I hope there is somebody that will push me in the right direction for building this "simple" code

(read: not for me that simple since I'm exploring Autoit )

Greetings.  I don't see any communication protocol to the remote server.  You enter creds in the GUI but how are they sent / received?  You might want to look at the TCP and UDP functions in the help file and search the forum on those topics.

Hello,

thanks for the tip Jfish and looked in to it.

Afther a weekend of "trail and error" i come up whit something like this:  

case $ButtonServ1
   Local $var = Ping("Computer1", 250)
    If $var Then
     Run ("cmd.exe")
     WinWaitActive("C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe")
     send ("sc Computer1query Service1")

     ;(((don't know how to read the query)))) : iff service is running or stopped do .. until stopped

     send ("sc Computer1 stop Service1")

firing up the command line and put in the commands whit the "send" command.

I realy think that there must be a easyer way than making send commands.

Could somebody help me whit this??

thanks in advanced..

how about an easier solution - if this GUI is to be used by you or by power user, and if you do not need to automate the restarting of services, then use this:

services.msc /Computer=<computername>

than manually filter by Status, select the service you want, and click Start.

[FMS]

euhmm good tip
but i wanted to give this tool to application managers who have some restriction on the network.

So i need to GUI this so no other services where stopped accidently.

thnx in advanced

quick and dirty: get all stopped services for a computer. i don't think it needs any comments, if something is not clear then just ask.

#include <String.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

$sSC_hostname=@ComputerName
$sSC_output=@TempDir&'\SCoutput.txt'
FileDelete($sSC_output)

RunWait(@ComSpec&' /c sc.exe \\'&$sSC_hostname&' query state= inactive > "'&$sSC_Output&'"','',@SW_HIDE)

$sSC_content=FileRead($sSC_Output)
$aStoppedServicesList=_StringBetween($sSC_content,'DISPLAY_NAME: ',@CRLF)
_ArrayDisplay($aStoppedServicesList)

this script assumes you have sufficient permissions. if the user needs to specify credentials, then use RunAsWait() instead of RunWait()

instead of _ArrayDisplay() you probably want to fill a List or a ListView with the array data, then when user clicks a button, read the selected entry from the list, send sc.exe to start the service, wait few seconds and check the new status of all services - because the service you start may start a dependency service, don't overlook that.

P.S. and there is also this:

WMI seems to be good for this job.

Here are some functions to do what you want, I think.

Just look at the beginning of the script for the example.
