On your pc, try running "sc query" in a terminal. You'll get a lot of output. Sc is the Service Control interface for the command line and it's in all win2k and winxp machine, I think win2k3, but haven't tested that yet.

Anyway, I realize I can do a dump to a file : sc query > file and parse that for the info I want, however I really don't feel like making files everywhere I run this script. Is there a way to gather that output into a string or variable of some sort and work with it then?

thanks,

Jack

#include <Constants.au3>

$foo = Run(@ComSpec & " /c sc query", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD)

While 1
    $line = StdoutRead($foo)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    MsgBox(0, "STDOUT read:", $line)
WEnd

While 1
    $line = StderrRead($foo)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    MsgBox(0, "STDERR read:", $line)
WEnd

MsgBox(0, "Debug", "Exiting...")

Services are available through the WMI COM objects. Why run sc.exe at all?

Functions are available from a UDF called _NTServices.au3, and you can search for many examples of doing it with direct COM calls to the WMI.

If you have Scriptomatic for VBS already, you're almost there. You can find the WMI call you want and just translate to AutoIt.

that's pretty nice and all, but SC.exe allows me to permanently disable the service as well.

Thanks for the posts folks, this looks to be the direction I'm after!
