Hi,

 

-- Did you check in Task Manager that the relevant service process starts/stops?

-- Does the account that executes the start/stop code have anough privileges (as mentioned in the referenced article)?

-- Can you post here your actual code?

-- Any related messages in the Windows Event Viewer logs?

    I need to stop/start the service using javascript , I found this in testcomplete but it is using jscript. When I ran this I got an invalid parameter error. Can you help me convert this to javascript? I tried the suggestion in the thread as well to convert it somehow to javascript but got the not authorized error

     

    function fn_GetService(computerName, serviceName)

    {

    var wmiService, objectsList, eObjectsList, item, sysID;

    wmiService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\\\" +

    computerName + "\\root\\cimv2");

    objectsList = wmiService.InstancesOf("Win32_Service")

     

    if (objectsList.Count > 0) {

    eObjectsList = new Enumerator(objectsList);

    for (; !eObjectsList.atEnd(); eObjectsList.moveNext()) {

    item = eObjectsList.item();

    if (item.Name == serviceName)

    return item;

    }

    }

    return null;

    }

     

    I appreciate your help. Thanks

      Actually, starting/stopping a windows service is simply a command line of "net start <servicename>" or "net stop <servicename>".  This can be done using the WshShell.Run method (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/program-objects/wshshell/index.html).

       

      The way I would do it is simply something like this.  FYI, this should work both for JScript as well as JavaScript&colon;

       

      function startService(serviceName){
    WshShell.Run('net start ' + serviceName, 1, true);
}

function stopService(serviceName){
    WshShell.Run('net stop ' + serviceName, 1, true);
}.
