Checking whether a service is up

[amirw]

Hi all,

Is there a way to check, via a batch script, whether a specific Windows Service is up??

Thanks,
Amir.

I assume by up, you mean running. Look into sc.exe. You can get all the service information you need from that.

Thanks,

but... sc doesn't work on early platforms such as Windows 2000.
Any solution?

thanks again,

Yes it does. What version do you have?
