how can i stop/start service via dos commands?

[ceez]

zup fellow msfn-ers....?

I would like to stop and start service via dos. I type 'net help services' and it lists some services that I can start by using net start <servicename>. But the service I am trying to restart is a blackberry service. How can I list all the services so I know the correct name? Then I assume I would use net stop <servicename> and then net start <servicename>.

thanks for the help

It's easier is you use the "sc" command at any DOS prompt. 'sc' by itself will list all running services, then:

sc stop <service> will stop service, or sc start <service>.

I use it all the time.

@vim, works like a charm! thanks a mill!!!

Strictly speaking, the command prompt in XP is not a DOS prompt and I don't think sc existed in MS-DOS. There's no DOS in Windows XP.

True, Windows 2k and XP kernel doesn't have any MS-DOS components in it at all—it's a pure 32-bit beast. However it includes a 16-bit emulator and a command prompt mode that looks like MS-DOS but with limted DOS commands that fuction simlular and somewhat different as real DOS.

Just open the command prompt

and type 'help' or 'help.exe'

u will recieve a huge list of all command prompt usefuls word and with it discriptions.
