How to script scenario where process fails to start on time 1

[JustScriptIt]

I'm creating a script that involves stopping and starting a service.

How do I handle a situation where service fails to start on time, say, after 2 minutes?


Code to start service

do   
  Set colProcesses = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2"). _
  ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name='smc.exe'")   
  wscript.sleep 100
loop until (colProcesses.count > 0)

Something like this ?

i = 0
Do
  Set colProcesses = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2"). _
  ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name='smc.exe'")
  WScript.Sleep 1000
  i = i + 1
Loop Until colProcesses.Count > 0 Or i >= 120

Hope This Helps, PH.
