This article transferred from: http://www.cnblogs.com/hbccdf/p/managewindowsservicewithcmd.html

When it comes to managing Windows services, it's important to say that Windows services are managed through the command line, because the command line is a convenient and powerful tool, whether it's a system administrator or a programmatic way to invoke the cmd command.

Next, look at how to manage Windows services with the cmd command.

Main cmd command for managing Windows services

There should be a lot of commands for managing Windows services, but I've learned that there are two main commands: SC, net.

Said to be two cmd command, is actually the Windows System32 directory under the two execution program, because the environment variable path has system32 directory, so enter such a command, CMD will go to this command to find the corresponding execution program

Enumerate all Windows services and their details

With the SC query, you can enumerate all of the Windows services and their details:

sc query

View detailed information for a specified service

For example, see the details of the IISADMIN service

sc query IISAdmin

Start the Windows service

Starting a Windows service can be explained by two commands, the IISADMIN service, and the SC command

SC start IISAdmin

The other is the more commonly used NET command

net start IISAdmin

Stop the Windows service

You can also use the SC and net commands to stop Windows services

sc stop IISAdmin

net stop IISAdmin

Create a Windows service

command line to create a Windows service depends on the SC command,

Here's how the commands are used

Note that the format here, "=" is followed by an empty grid, or an error occurs.

Example:

SC Create services Binpath= "D:\code\c++\services\release\services.exe" type= own start= demand displayname= "service tes T "depend= Iisadmin/schedule

After you create the service, you can verify it through the service manager.

Remove Windows Services

SC Delete Services

Enumerate dependencies of Windows services

SC enumdepend IISAdmin

Additional functions of the SC command

All the functions of the SC command, as well as help information, can be entered SC directly in the CMD command window.

Summarize

Using the cmd command to manage the system can improve efficiency, although there is no user interface, but the function is powerful enough, commands are very rich, the use of programming can also reduce the complexity of the code.

Manage the two commands used by Windows services: SC, net.
