Automatically Restart a Service?
Posted by Curt on September 14th, 2005


Is there a good freeware app to have a Windows service periodically
restart, e.g., once a day at a specific time?

You can get psservice.exe, part of pstools, from www.sysinternals.com and
use the task scheduler to run the appropriate command. It also works on
remote machines. Type "psservice /?" at a command prompt to see the options.
I have all of the pstools in my system32 folder so that I don't have to
specify the path to the executable.
