Re: Automation Question: How do you stop a process from a .bat fil

I verified that XNETS is the name of the service, which does work in the
script file.

Thanks for your suggestion.

I have created a .bat file that successfully launches the application,
however I can't seem to stop the service.

The command I'm using is NET STOP service, but no matter how I reference the
service I get an error. The name of the service is XNETS.exe

Here's what I've tried:
NET STOP XNETS.exe; error can find service


XNETS.exe is the name of the executable - not necessarily the service
name. The service name is shown in the list of services; right-click on
a service and click properties, then the service name (and it's display
name) is shown. If the service name has blanks in it, you'll have to
use double quotation marks in the "net stop" command - e.g.:
net stop "service name"
