Shutdown a Windows Server 2003 Service 2

[mjk9564]

There are couple services on one of my servers that I'm required to shutdown frequently I am wanting to automate this. Is there a way that I can shutdown a service that is running through code?

Thanks!

Just shell a batch file that contains the "NET STOP" commands to stop the services.

For example:

NET STOP ALERTER
NET STOP "INDEXING SERVICE"

(Note: service names that have a space must be enclosed in quotation marks.)

Or, just create a batch file and run it directly by double-clicking. You can also make a corresponding "NET START" batch file to restart the services:

NET START ALERTER
NET START "INDEXING SERVICE"

Thanks! I am new to VB.NET and was looking to do it through code, but this will get them by. I did find out how to do it in VB.NET. WOW the code in VB 6 I use to use was huge compared to this.
