Controlling services from the command line

[BliarOut]

Anyone know how I can control service startup from the command line on 2K?

Googling hasn't revealed much yet.

I know I can start and stop them, but I want to disable ftp & iis from the command line (I don't want to touch the registry implicitly if I can avoid it)

2K3 has SC, Anyone know anything I can use on 2K?

(Oh, and it has to be free and under public licence!)

[pdV6]

net stop msftpsvc

and


net stop iisadmin

I haven't been able to find such a tool. There is "sc" in the W2K resource kit, but you have to buy that don't you?

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I know how to stop and start from CMD, but I want to set the startup type to disabled.

I can use SC on 2K3, but that doesn';t exist on 2K.

I might try SC on 2K and see if it works

[pdV6]

Oh, right. I guess you have a good reason you don't want to simply set it to disabled via the GUI?

Yup, writing an installer for a bundled PHP/MySQL/Apache app. I want to be able to run totally independantly from the host machine so I can just copy my app to another host if it breaks.

I still remember the good old days when you could do that, and anything I write must be able to run from a straight copy

So far, it works using a batch file, but it's scruffy. I'll have to see if SC works on 2K.

SC does work on Windows 2000 and it's installed by default on 2003...

Oh if you really don't care you could just set the value in the registry (because that's all SC and the SCM do anyway....).
