Have you ever wanted to start, stop, delete, create, or configure a service in your batch script? The "SC" command will allow you to do this and more.

Here are a few examples of how you can use this command:

Start a service sc start ServiceName
Stop a service sc stop ServiceName
Delete a service sc delete ServiceName
Create a service sc create ServiceName binPath="C:\Program Files\InstallDir\Service.exe" start=auto
Configure a service sc config ServiceName <options>

For more information about the settings you can make when creating and configuring services, go to a command prompt and type "sc create /?" and "sc config /?"
