Services

I created a script that changes a services startup type to manual, then
starts it and runs a command that uses that service. What I need to do now
is stop the service and set it back to disabled. When I specify to do this
later in the script it stops the service to quick, and doesn't set it to
disable. How can I do this while allowing the command time to run?

Thanks for any help and information.

You should intercept your process startup and stop events, possibly using
the Win32_ProcessStartTrace and Win32_ProcessStopTrace events to trigger
your service disable or stop routine.

select * from win32_processStopTrace where processName = "calc.exe"

Would fire an event to the client any time a process named calc.exe closed.

If working with OS's prior to WinXP you can also detect this state with a
slightly different EventNotificationQuery:

select * from __instanceDeletionEvent within 5 where targetInstance isa
"win32_process" and targetInstance.caption = "calc.exe"

Hi

After initializing the stop command, you can go into a loop and wait
for the status to be "stopped" before you continue, here is an example:
