Fast disable and enable services/processes

[Telenut]

Hi,

has someone a script to make it possible to disable multiple running services. And reenable them when I want to.

Sometimes I need lots of cpu and memory, I want to disable some services temporarely and start them again when I'm finnished.

I know I can use the command net stop 'servicename' or sc stop 'servicename'.

But a pre written script that checks the running services (I don't really need) and stores them so I can enable them again would be nice :-)

Other tools are welcome too (I once saw something to make is easier to play games, but forgot the name)

This will disable lots of services, but needs a reboot, make sure you back up first...

thx,

But that is not what I needed :-) I have my own reg file for that.

I only want to disable services temporarely and stop processes that take too much memory.

I only want to disable services temporarely and stop processes that take too much memory.

And what is "too much" memory? Are you running on 256 MB of RAM? You are low on memory when Windows alerts you that you're virtual memory is low. This is caused by a low value set for the page file or a memory-intensive game like BF2 which eats 1GB+ easily. You're better off just getting more RAM.

Make batches with start and stop commands:

NET START servicename

or

NET STOP servicename

getting more ram is a good option.

But I can not upgrade my CPU :-) (laptop)

(now let's have a look if there is space left for extra ram)

edit: ****, no more place for extra ram... :s

You can probably replace the RAM in your laptop with larger ones...

There's more than one size of RAM stick. If there wasn't, mobos for today's servers would be as long as sidewalks.

Go to this Link it has some scripts that may do what you want.

Than I have 256 mb ram in backup :-)

the VB scripts are nice, but I more prefer the bat files.

thx for the tips

You should have at least 512MB. See about getting more.

net stop "Service Name"

net start "Service Name"

String as many together as needed in a CMD file

@IcemanND: I have already mentioned those commands in this thread (post #5).
