Process toggler?

[ODC]

Is there a way to toggle a process? I wish to check if a process is running. If it is, stop it. If it isn't, start it. I know nothing of any scripting methods that would accomplish this. TIA!

You don't need every Services on your PC running. I have 5 Services running and the rest are disabled. I also nLite my PC so even though I am on SP2 I only have 38 Services in my list. Cheers.

Here's an example I found, do with it as you will.

@echo off
FOR /F "tokens=1,2,3,4" %%A IN ('SC.EXE QUERY SPOOLER ^| FIND /I "STATE"') DO SET STATE=%%D
IF /I "%STATE%"=="RUNNING" (NET STOP SPOOLER) ELSE (NET START SPOOLER)

Thank you very, very much, Yzöwl. That works perfectly for my needs.

@Jeremy, I have also disabled many of my services, but there a some that I need to run occationally and I wanted to have an shortcut that would easily enable or disable the service as I see fit.

Ah, I see. I misunderstood. My bad. Very interesting, though.

My question is different but not entirely off the thread..

is there a tool to toggle the priority of a process without invoking the taskmanager?

what about permanently changing the process' priority from it's default?

You can't permanently change it that I know of, but you can change it for the current running session of the program using the command line part of ProcessViewer.
