execute cmd commands

[fawder]

well. i think the hard part is done.

I will need to figure out how to start it in the same script  

[fawder]

my workaround for now until i can learn how to code and have the commands(stop and start the service) within the AutoIT executable.

#RequireAdmin
Local $sUserName = "localAdmin"
Local $sPassword = "localAdminPW"
RunAsWait($sUserName, @ComputerName, $sPassword, 0, "C:\Directory\file.bat", @WorkingDir)

What do you mean how to start it in the same script?

Runaswait will return as soon as it is done running and you just rinse and repeat only with start this time

Local $sServiceName = "Service Name"
RunAsWait("your username", "your domain", "your password", logon_flag, @ComSpec & ' /k net stop "' & $sServiceName & '"', "workingdir" [, show_flag [, opt_flag]]] )

RunAsWait("your username", "your domain", "your password", logon_flag, @ComSpec & ' /k net start "' & $sServiceName & '"', "workingdir" [, show_flag [, opt_flag]]] )

Although it should be mentioned that it would be better to do this in a context of you having more control such as one of the Windows Service UDFs and then you could know why/when it failed

Hi @Bilgus i tried that, but it opened two command windows and ran both commands at the same time. one was successful in stopping the service, the other was not successful as the service wasn't fully stopped for it to start.

thanks!!

@Bilgus correction: i just ran it again.

First window opened, stopped the service and then sits at:

C:\Windows\system32>

once i exit, the second line runs and starts the service.

Just replace /k with /c should fix that.

Sorry I didn't even think of that

So basically runaswait returns because the command is done so you either need to Sleep() which is flaky and bad

or just have the cmd line do it

@ComSpec & ' /k net stop ' & $sServiceName & ' & net start ' & $sServiceName
