checking for a service?

[keilamym]

I was looking to see if Autoit could check for a service to see if its running but I cant lcoate an AutoIt command. In the past, I had psservice export the service list to a text file, then query the text file for the service name.

any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank You

You could lookup the DOS command sc

You could lookup the DOS command sc

Depending on what OS version you are running, there should be a WMI call for it. Search for Scriptomatic here in these forums - it will write the code for you!

how bout

$a = processlist (""); maybe you do your service in the quotes
for $i = 1 to $a[0][0] step 1
msgbox (0, "Process running", $a[$i][0])
next

hope that helps

Here's what I've done to check remote systems and start it. Not pretty, but it does the job.

Here's a list of services:

browser|TrkWks|ERSvc|helpsvc|CiSvc|dmserver|Netlogon|mnmsrvc|SysmonLog|WmdmPmSN|

RSVP|RDSessMgr|RemoteRegistry|seclogon|SamSs|lanmanserver|SCardSvr|SSDPRSRV|

srservice|LmHosts|TlntSvr|UPS|upnphost|w32Time|WZCSVC

This will:

1. Connect to remote computer.

2. Change the service to Demand

3. Start the service and sleep for a couple seconds

4. Query the service. If the service is pending, it will loop until it's started.

5. Close Connection

6. Exit

Here ya go.

$service = "TlntSvr";telnet service. Case Sensitive !!
$pc = "computer"
$pw = "password"

;Connect to remote IPC Share.
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "net use \\" & $pc & "\IPC$ /U:Administrator " & $pw & " > temp.txt", "", @SW_HIDE)
;Set service to Demand (boot|system|auto|demand|disabled)
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "sc \\" & $pc & " config " & $service & " start= demand", "", @SW_HIDE)
;start service
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "sc \\" & $pc & " start " & $service, "", @SW_HIDE)
Sleep(2000);Wait for service to start.
;Query service for status
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "sc \\" & $pc & " query " & $service & " > temp.txt", "", @SW_HIDE)
$file = FileOpen("temp.txt", 0)
If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf
While 1
    $line = FileReadLine($file, 4)
    If $line = "        STATE             : 2  START_PENDING " Then
        RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "sc \\" & $pc & " query " & $service & " > temp.txt", "", @SW_HIDE)
        Sleep(1000)
   ElseIf $line = "     STATE             : 4  RUNNING " Then
        MsgBox(32, "Success", "Service Running")
        Exit
    Else
        MsgBox(16,"Warning!","Something Didn't work correctly. Opening Temp File",3)
        Run("temp.txt")
        exit
    EndIf
WEnd
FileClose($file)
;Close Network session
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "net use" & " \\" & $pc & "\IPC$ /delete", "", @SW_HIDE
