Hi All ,

Hope this is the right group.

I want to start a service only if another service has been started. How
do I do that using the net start command ? Sorry if the question is
repeated.

net start | find /i "Alerter">nul||net start "ASP.NET State Service"

I want the command to work such that , only if the Alerter service has
started , I want ASP.NET to start.

In short I want something like this to be done :

if(Service 1 has started)
Start Service 2.
else
Do not start Service 2.

How do I accomplish this?

Thank You.

Using the service display names for both the find and net start, not the service short name (key):

for /f "Tokens=*" %%a in ('net start^|Find /i "Alerter"') do (
net start "ASP.NET State Service"
)

>>net start | find /i "Alerter">nul||net start "ASP.NET State Service"

net start|find /i "Alerter">nul&&net start "ASP.NET State Service"

I think that's another option.
