automation of services

[vyas_vipul]

i was wondering if there is any way to start certain services when certain program startes... and stop them when program is exited... is there any way to achive this????

you could try autoit3 so that when u run the au3 file, it will change the reg values for the service(not sure if explorer need to be restarted or what), then it will start up the program, then when you exit it will change the reg values again.

Some Services will only be Stopped on XP restart when set to Manual or Automatic. So autoit wont work.

well its actully... its aol services.. i have aol installed on my system...it uses service like aol connectivity services and aol topseed monitor... which is useless if aol is not runnnin and uses up memory.. it also starts.. Telephony, Remote Access Auto Connection manager and Remote Access Coneection Manger... (and Remote Access Coneection Manger cant be stopped once it started).. so is the is any other way to do so.. or any proggie?

Can you just stop and start the service with

Net Start Service

or

Net Stop Service

?

"A"

You can list the services by typing in Net Start

"FSAuto" is the perfect program for what you are trying to do. Search for it on www.softpedia.com.

You can configure the program to certain services when you run a program and then restart them once the program closes... very useful for games

goold luck
