Hi Vasanth,

You may either execute 'net start/stop' command using WScript.Run() or do this via WMI (google for something like "WMI stop windows service").

You may also search this forum - there were a couple of samples here on how to do this using WMI.

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);
}.
