Batch FileI have just had a call you it working and it writing some batch files to upgrade certain machines. He couldn't remember how to check the status of a service from the command line.
The way I know of and have used in the past is the command sc.
An example would be
sc query MySQL
You can combine that with findstr to search for STOPPED or STARTED etc.
