2003 server question

[OutHouse]

what is the command to stop and restart a service on another machine?

i want to stop and restart a service on a 2003 server from a NT Server on the same domain and both logged in as admin.

because i have a log monitor that will kick off a bat file when it sees no activity for a targeted log file. that bat file is what i want to use to stop and restart the service. I want to do this so i dont have to get up in the middle of the night because i got paged because a service got hung.

there has to be a way to do this... i cant believe there is no way to stop and restart services on a remote server.

net start/stop only works on a local PC...for server 2003 you have to have the resource kit to be able to start/stop remotely.

in the kit there is a command line tool "SC" that will give you the ability
