how the heck do i restart a service on the cmd line?

[DJFuji]

I'm trying to restart a service that commonly fails but the command line doesnt seem to have a "net restart" command. Just stop and start. Is there something i'm missing? Do i have to manually stop and start it? You'd think that if the GUI allows you to restart, that the command line would too. Any ideas?

why not just run a net stop then a net start afterwards

i want to do it in batch script and i dont know how long it will take the service to stop.

if you queue up a net stop and then a net start they should wait for each one to finish and kick off without any additional timing. As long as you aren't using start commands.

Net stop and start is the correct way

either do all the net stops first then start or stop then start each one
