Activate/deactive a windows service with a script
I would like to be able with a script to activate a windows service for windows xp pro
The same, but deactivate that service.
P.D. Really I would like to run or stop the service, but may be more general and allow in some cases to abilitate the service o eliminate.
Best Regards

Watch out with 'sc'.
At least read the manual very carefully, as it is quite a powerful tool. And it can wreak havoc in your system if you select (unintentionally) the wrong option for any (critical) service running in Windows.
Just sayin'.

I have two batch files to turn on and off 2 services: [ copy or print] ServicesStart.bat: @echo off sc config wuauserv start= auto sc config BITS start= auto sc start wuauserv sc start BITS ServicesStop.bat @echo off sc config wuauserv start= disabled sc config BITS start= disabled sc stop wuauserv sc stop BITS Both have worked fine (Windows XP SP3) for years. |

One nit to be aware of with sc is that the options that use an "=" sign are very particular about the whitespacing. The "=" sign is actually part of the option name, so there cannot be a space before the equal sign, and there *must* be a space after. So But not: [ copy or print] sc config wuauserv start = disabled sc config wuauserv start=disabled |

net stop [service name]
net start [service name]
net restart [service name]
Thanks @Stoic Joker. I had not known of this command previously. That's interesting. In Win7-64, the "NET" command only has these options - i.e., no RESTART:  |

I had not known of this command previously. In Win7-64, the "SC" has these options (see image below). I see that config is "persistent" and QUERY and QUERYEX look like they could be useful for avoiding redundant toggles - e.g., START or STOP of an already started or stopped service.  |

That probably has much to do with my not being a morning person, and it not actually existing. |
