Using Win XP SP3

Is there a way to stop or start a service from the command line? Perhaps
something like 'Services.msc /some parameter'.

Thank you.

Sure there is.

Try doing a Google search for something like: command line stop a
service

and you will get some methods to read about and choose one.

I think the easiest is the net start/stop <service> but it is up to
you.

And what is even more amazing that Google takes your private information
and sells it. I normally don't mind, but Google doesn't give me a
percentage of it. So now I do mind! But www.ixquick.com does take your
privacy seriously. Also Google also shows links that really has nothing
with what you are looking for. As Google seems to believe quantity is
better than quality. <sigh>
 
Thank you Malke and Jose.

I had Googled the problem but I guess I didn't use the proper terms.

Now that I have found what I needed, I am sure some follow up questions will
result.

Thanks again.

So you now know how to stop and start the services from the command
line, yes?

Is there some particular problem you are having that you think will be
remedied by doing so?

Yes there is. I am doing some trouble shooting and find the HP's Pml driver
HPZ12 is cluttering up the Event Log showing starting and stopping every few
minutes and want to put an end to it.

Thanks again.

Well, I used Google to search for: HPZ12 event log

and there are several links to mostly HP related forums with what
sounds like your problem and potential solutions. Stopping and
starting services from the command prompt is not a solution - it is an
annoying workaround.

HP has their own user forum on their WWW site that I have some good
results is using, so use the Google as above, do some reading, try
some of the ideas in the returned links. If you can't get it working
right, you will have better luck working in the HP forums (or maybe
there is an HP printer Google Group).

We will get yelled at for pursuing this problem in this group.

Rotsa ruck!
