Shut off services 1

[DougP]

Can I create a scheduled task that will shul off the Winsock and WEB proxy services every Friday at 7:00pm and then another one to turn them on Monday aat 6:00am

How do I shut down a service from the command prompt?

TIA

Hi Doug,

With Proxy Server 2.0, you could write a simple batch file using remotmsp:

remotmsp STOP -SERVICE:WSP
remotmsp STOP -SERVICE:WP

and then use Task Scheduler to run the batch file when needed. To turn it back on:

remotmsp START -SERVICE:WSP
remotmsp START -SERVICE:WP

but I bet you could have guessed that ;-)

No, I had no idea where to start.
Thanks though

So I created StopServ.bat
put those two lines in it
then what

NT does not have a groovy task program like 2000 and XP does it?
Or do I go in the Run command and type
AT stopserv.bat
How do I schedule it?

Hi Doug,

NT does have a task scheduler. I haven't used it in a while, but if memory serves me, if you just open "My Computer" you'll see a folder called Scheduled Tasks. If you open that, you will see something like "Create new task" that is the Scheduling Wizard.

Let me know if you can't find that and I will try to find it wherever it may be. I know it's somewhere.

Regards,

z.
