Windows services

[David1980]

Hi,

How programmaticlly get status of "A" Windows service?

Using "System Exec VI" was referred as a way to start/stop a service with proper command line text.

Is this VI the only solution? if yes, some detail how to ?

or any alternative?

You can do it with .net

The example here lists all the services and its status. You can refer to msdn documentation for more details.
