Greetings,

I want to maintain (stop/start) services on remote machine in orderly
fashion. The requirement is that the next service should only be
started/stopped when previous service has stopped/started completely.
I am using Windows xp. I am able to come up with something like below:

REM ** To stop services on remote machine **

start /wait sc \\server_name stop service_name1
start /wait sc \\server_name stop service_name2

REM ** To start services on remote machine **

start /wait sc \\server_name start service_name1
start /wait sc \\server_name start service_name2


Is it true that above command means that service_name2 will only
stop/start when the first service i.e service_name1 gets
stopped/started completely?
*** Probably, but if this is what you want then you should
*** drop the "start" command altogether:
*** sc \\Server_Name stop service_name1

Also, I have one more issue. Sometimes when the service is getting
stopped, it goes into a "intermediate" state as STOPPING. In this
case, I want to kill this service before sc command go on stopping
next services.
*** In such cases you need a loop, e.g. like so:
***
*** sc \\Server_Name stop service_name1
*** :Loop1
*** ping localhost -n 10 > nul
*** sc \\Server_Name query service_name1 | find /i "stopped || goto Loop1
***
*** You should also add a loop counter in order to deal
*** with cases where the service can't be stopped.

Can someone please help me here. I have searched enough and not able
to come to any conclusion.

TIA
