What are you actually trying to accomplish? We might
help better if we know the 'real' issue.

I suppose you could run a batch script or service that
"watches" for some signal (perhaps a file appears in
a certain directory) or listens for a signal -- a control
program that "asks the service" to do something.

Inside the batch script or service is the "secret part".

My guess is that it's the old chestnut of supplying an explicit username and
password in a script.

Yes, or something else similarly secret.
