NET STOP command

[camidon]

If I were going to set up a batch file using NET STOP to stop some NT services, is there a switch that will force it to stop the service and not ask if I'm sure?

I don't think net stop has such an option. what service are you running that asks for comfirmation to stop (never seen that)?

if you schedule the batch file ("at" command) then you can tell the scheduler to respond yes to any prompts (see online docs; Start -> Help)

At a command prompt type net help stop. You'll see the arguments for the net stop command.

I use a batch file that stops IIS services. It uses the /y command to stop the dependancy services. It should work for other services.

net stop [service] /y
