Of course, that's a code fragment - you should check for errors and maybe even verify that the service is present before you try to remove it. Make sure to specify the path to the xnet command if it isn't in your PATH statement. If you want to stop it - replace the "remove" with "stop".

Stop the service, then remove the service, then perform any cleanup of the service files. BTW - XNET LIST \\server\service name will display the location of the service binary (executable). My SvcCtl() UDF uses XNET to start/stop or enable/disable services. SvcList() will return all the services, or an array of a single service's detail. Check the UDF forum, or download the latest copy from the Kix Development page on my web site. It's part of the library included in the Zip file.

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4403 Loc: New Jersey	The service name must be enclosed in quotes. Notice the embeded quotes above - single quotes for the SHell command, and double-quotes around the service name. Try an XNET LIST on that target server, most services have a "short name", which - per MS specs - should NOT have spaces in the name. Unfortunately, not all vendors adhere to this rule (Symantec & Macromedia come to mind) Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$
