Check for a single running service

[dibbler]

Hi. I’m a new user and slowly getting to grips with how powerfull batchpatch is.

I have a list of a few hundred windows 7 pcs that are on a domain. I need to check that they have a certain process running.

I can see how you can check for all running processes but not to just check for 1.

Can somebody point out the obvious thing I’ve probably missed!!

Thanks

Hi Dibbler,

Is this what are you looking for?

Right click on the host

Services / Processes

Check if process is running

Thanks for the reply.

That’s nearly what i’m looking for. I’ve already tried that!

The thing i’m looking for is a service and not a process so dosent show up with the above command.

If I use

Services / Processes

List automatic Services

It shows up in the list of all the services.

DisplayName Name

ACEmessage Network Client ACEmessage Network Client

Windows Audio Endpoint Builder AudioEndpointBuilder

Windows Audio Audiosrv

Base Filtering Engine BFE

SMS Agent Host CcmExec

Certificate Propagation CertPropSvc

Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN v4.0.30319_X86

Group Policy Client gpsvc

GSL Share Memory GslShmSrvc

Google Update Service (gupdate) gupdate

Microsoft Monitoring Agent HealthService

HitmanPro.Alert service hmpalertsvc

HP Support Assistant Service HP Support Assistant Service

IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules IKEEXT

Intel(R) PROSet Monitoring Service Intel(R) PROSet Monitoring Service

IP Helper iphlpsvc

IviRegMgr IviRegMgr

Intel(R) Identity Protection Technology Host Interface Service jhi_service

It would make it easier if I could just see the one! i.e Microsoft Monitoring Agent HealthService

Hi Dibbler,

Unfortunately, that function is not yet implemented.

Maybe Doug will implement it in near future. 🙂

This is the quick fix.

sc query wscsvc | find “STATE”

wscvs is the name of the service, not the display name.

Right click on host

Execute remote process/command

Create/modify remote commands

Title: (Name it as you wish)

Command: sc query service_name | find “STATE”

Thanks. That has just saved hours of work.
