Many times people forget what the services do or forget to restart the important ones. Services can be easily changed by creating batch files.
The important commands are the following
NET START – starts the service
NET STOP – ends the service
Before starting this we need to make sure which service you want to start or stop.
Go to Start—>Run type services.msc click ok
Once you get the services windows you can see each service name.

Hi, this is Rajasekaran from India, I need a small help about the Bat file. I want to automatically restart to sever by using bat file. Pls let me known the service is whether technical possible or not. If it is possible Pls give the cmd for the same. Thanks and Regards, D.Rajasekaran.
try this
just create a batch file and put the following command
Shutdown -r -f -t 0 (This is for local computer)
for network computer
Shutdown -r -f -t 0 -m \\
-r = restart
-s = shutdown
-f = forcibly
-t = time in seconds
-m = remote computer
It doesn’t work in vista. Error 5 returns. The access deny.
Cool! thx!!!!
OliverNie:
it does work, i used it with Vista. u jz need to right click on the notepad (which is now is a .bat file) and choose “Run As Administrator”
good luck!
Is there any way of doing this remotely? Say across LAN from your local machine for example and you trying to stop Windows Service running on a Windows 2003 Server.
What about shutting down programs locally on your own machine using a batch script???
TIA
