Stop Service

[NewsArchive]

I know you can stop/start services with the command line 'NET STOP' and
'NET START' and you can stop/start services with the SB 'STOP/START
SERVICE' functions. What are the pros and cons of each please?

TIA

If you want to know the result of the stoppage/starting, then it's
best to use something that will tell you. How would you know success
if you use commandline?

What Jeff said. The SB functions give you more control. For example, you
can use the check for active service and stop service in a LOOP (e.g. 5
times), then give the service some time (e.g. 3 seconds) to terminate. If
it is still running after all this, inform the user.
