Service Dependency

[Boris Zakharin]

Does making one service dependent on another make it stop when the latter is
stopped, even from outside the Services applet or unexpectedly due to error?
In particular, we want to make our service dependent on MS SQL Service.
Would this work or would I need to check manually whether SQL Server is
running?

Thanks in advance,

No, dependency only affects the start order of things.
