#42194 - 2003-06-27 01:34 PM Stopping and restarting service
JohnQ JohnQ Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2003-03-04 Posts: 171	I am using the following code to stop and restart a servcie. code: $Service = Getobject("WinNT://@WKSTA/Norton Antivirus Server,Service") ? "@error @Serror" $status = $service.status ?"status is "$status If $status = 4 $Service.stop If @ERROR = 0 Sleep 10 $service.start ? "@error @Serror - restarting service" EndIf EndIf This works fine but I would rather use a more surefire way of restarting the service without the sleep command. I would like to come up with another method to ensure that the service has indeed stopped before restarting it. Sleeping for 10 works, but I'm sure on some machines that might not be long enough for the service to shut down and then I'll get an error when it attempts to start back up - not to mention that it won't restart until the next reboot. Any suggestions?

There are also stop_pending and start_pending values. Checkout some of the service related UDF's in the library. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/
