Managing services from CLI
1. To get a list of the running services enter the command
net start
net stop <service name> net start <service name>
A full list of the exact services is found in the registry (run regedit.exe) under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services key.
Alternatively, you can perform the stop and start using the name that is showed in the Services Control Panel applet by putting the name in quotes, i.e.
net stop "<service>" net start "<service>"
2. To get a list of the running services enter the command
net start
(you can add > \[filename\] to the end to make it output to a file, i.e. net start > services.lst). You can then try to shutdown each of them by entering the command
net stop "<service name>"
,e.g. net stop “spooler”. Some services will ask you to enter a y to confirm, and for these just add /y to the end.
You can also use the Resource Kit SC.EXE command, use
sc query
to get a list of the services, and then
sc stop <service name>
to stop the service.
