Re: Determine if a service has started via batch file

That's not quite what you asked. Your original question was: How
to determine if a service has started. The command
net start {ServiceName}
will actually start the service if it can (which is beyond the scope
of your question). Still, if you don't mind starting an inactive service
then your solution will do nicely.

Thanks for the quick reply. net start {service} sets errorlevel=2, so this
will work fine.

Thanks again,

Is there any way to determine if a service has started via a batch
file? I
tried using "sc" but it doesn't return any errorlevel.

Thanks

Your question is a little ambiguous.
- Do you want to know if a service has been started automatically
or by a batch file command? I don't think you can find out - it
makes no difference how you start the service.
- Do you want to use a batch file in order to determine the status
of a batch file? That's easy - the command
net start | find /i "NameOfService"
will tell you.
