Stopping service from command line using runas

[Rajesh Khator]

I am trying to stop a service using runas from command prompt.The service
name is IBM HTTP Server x.x.x.x.

When I login with the admin user id I am able to stop the service from
command line
But when I use runas command to stop the service it gives the error "invalid
system path."

Any suggestions...

Did you play with those "/profile" and "/env" switches for runas?

Or perhaps just get psservice.exe (free) from http://sysinternals.com

I have tried with /profile and /env .I believe this has something to do with
the name of the service which has got "." in its name.
But even putting the service name in quotes does not help

Would you post the exact command that you tried. I'd guess something
like the following would have worked:-

runas /u:dom\usr "net stop \"IBM HTTP Server x.x.x.x\""

or

runas /u:dom\usr "cmd /c \"net stop \"IBM HTTP Server x.x.x.x\"\""
