| ยท | This action is available only on Windows NT 4, 2000, and XP.
|
|
|
| Starts a service already installed on the local or remote NT server or workstation. A service is a special process that can be launched during operating system boot. The most important feature of a service is that you do not have to log on to the computer.
|
|
|
| A service is started in the Local System account. You can start an existing service or a service that you created. Examples of services include FTP/HTTP servers, print spoolers, file sharing, and so forth.
|
|
|
| Usually, Windows services do have not a user interface, but are managed through the Services applet of the Windows Control Panel, or a separate application or applet. Using the standard Services applet, you can start, stop, pause, or continue a previously installed service. The common way for a service to report a warning or error is recording an event into the system event log. You can review the log using the Event Viewer from Administrative Tools in Windows.
