#40791 - 2003-05-27 09:46 PM check if a service is running
jhansenjr jhansenjr Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-08-31 Posts: 37 Loc: New Jersey	How can I tell if a service is running? I tried several of the examples posted but none seem to work correctly. Need to check if "Norton AntiVirus Server" is running. Thanks

Allen Allen KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-04-19 Posts: 4557 Loc: USA	Although not elegant and does little else, this will tell you if the service is running... code: function servicestate($_service,optional $remotepc) $objects=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!"+$remotepc+"\root\cimv2") if not @error=0 exit @error endif $services=$objects.ExecQuery('Select * from Win32_Service WHERE Name = "$_service"') for each $service in $services $servicestate=$service.state next endfunction For example: servicestate("Spooler") returns "Running" Just threw this together so please be understanding if it contains a bug or two, but it did work in my simple test above.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Al_Po's example requires WMI and will thus only work under Windows 2000/XP/2003 by default. Also, there are already a total of eight UDFs dealing with this issue usng different approaches. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

jhansenjr jhansenjr Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-08-31 Posts: 37 Loc: New Jersey	I see all the approaches but I'm having difficulty following them. I guess I will try to figure it out on my own.

Allen Allen KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-04-19 Posts: 4557 Loc: USA	If you have Win2000 or higher the above script should do the trick... What OS are you running? Another Example... If servicestate("Norton Antivirus Server") = "Running" ...your code here... endif

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	have you tried xnet ? break on shell '%ComSpec% /c xnet list \\Server\Service \| find /C "Running" >nul 2>nul' if @error ? "Service is not running" else ? "Yes, Service runs" endif get $_ Xnet is written by Ruud and is since ever then in the KiXtart distribution _________________________

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	ActiveServive(Service) is nothing more than a wrapper for using XNET.exe which is a utility in your KiXtart distribution. Read the XNET help file. Then look at this code again. It just calls XNET, reports the return and returns a value for NT. The @WIN = 1 means NT. The else would be for Win9x computers and it checks the registry for Win9x services. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	Check out fADSIServiceRun(). This code uses ADSI via COM to work with services. In it is simple code that will show how to get the status of a service. code: $objService = Getobject("WinNT://$Computer/$Service,Service") if @error = 0 $status = $objService.status ;$status = 4 ;Running ;$status = 1 ;Stopped ;$status = 7 ;Paused endif [ 28.

jhansenjr jhansenjr Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-08-31 Posts: 37 Loc: New Jersey	Jochen, thanks. That works fine. Howard, I understand the points that you brought up but what I didn't underdstand was the $servicename. Where is that being declared? Above this script? Thanks

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	Usage: $active=ACTIVESERVICE("WINS") code: function activeservice($servicename) Dim $shellcommand, $xnetexe $activeservice=0 $servicename=trim($servicename) if $servicename='' exit 87 endif if not isdeclared($TOOLSDIR) global $TOOLSDIR endif ... $servicename in the above example is "WINS" which was passed into the function when used in the script. The function definition specified what parameters are to be accepted by a function. These parms can be mandatory or optional. See the FUNCTION command in the docs. [ 28.

When you have time please review the KiXtart manual as well as the FAQ section here on the board. You can also download the HELPFILE from my site (the link is in my signature) From a DOS prompt on either Windows 2000 or XP : Using KiXtart v4.21 NOTICE: The remote system must have WMI installed. 2000/XP have it by default, NT 4 does not. Please review this FAQ for further information on this. http://www.kixtart.org/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=10;t=000048 C:\SCRIPTS\KIX32.EXE CHECKNAV.KIX $strComputer = "NameOfComputerToCheck" $Proc = "Norton Antivirus Server" BREAK ON ListProc($strComputer, $Proc) FUNCTION ListProc($strComputer,$Proc) For each $Process in GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" + $strComputer + "\root\cimv2").ExecQuery("select * from Win32_Service where Name='$Proc'") ? $PROC +' on '+$strComputer +' is '+$Process.state Next ENDFUNCTION [ 28.
