Re: [Wrapper-user] stop/start service from a program

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Jim,
As Javier mentioned, it is possible to execute a command from within
Java.  I was not sure exactly from where you wanted to stop the
service.

If the service is a Wrapper service, you can use "wrapper.exe -p
wrapper.conf" to stop the service.
You can also use "SC ..." or "NET STOP ..." from the command line.
>From Java it is also possible to call
WrapperManager.sendServiceControlCode(...,
WrapperManager.SERVICE_CONTROL_CODE_STOP).

In all cases, you will need to make sure that the calling process has
permission to control other services.  On Windows Vista, 2008 and 7,
you will need to run from an elevated console or process.

Cheers,
Leif
