ServiceName, ProcessName, Process is Running

ivcho_pifcho · February 26, 2021, 1:32pm

Hi everyone,
I need a Script that check a process is started, and if is it started must stopped. I wrote the following:

$lascore = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Service -Filter "Name LIKE 'tomcat9'" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Services$process = Get-Service -ServiceName $lascore
$process = Get-Service -ServiceName $lascore

When i start $process

PS C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Test\command> $process

I see all processes and their status. I need only to see one Process (for example LASCORE) is running and after that i need to stop it.

Status   Name               DisplayName
------   ----               -----------
...
.
.
Running  LanmanServer       Server
Running  LanmanWorkstation  Workstation
Running  LASCORE            LASCORE
Running  LASLMB             LASLMB
Running  LASWEB             LASWEB
.
.
.

Thank you.

I think there may be a confusion between processes and services. You are referring to processes in your post but working with services. Why not use ‘Get-Service’ and ‘Stop-Service’ instead?

$TargetService = 'MyService'

$Services = Get-Service | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name

If ($TargetService -in $Services) {
    Stop-Service -Name $TargetService
}
Else {
    Write-Host "`n[$(Get-Date -Format 'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss')] $TargetService not running" -ForegroundColor Green
}

If you are indeed trying to find and stop a process, then replace “Service” with “Process” in the code.

Hi,

thank you for your replay. I don’t understand how check that a service is running. The answare is that the service is not running, but it’s actually running.

kvprasoon · February 26, 2021, 2:56pm

You can use Get-Service -Name LASLMB to check if there is a service with that name is running or not.
Do it with -ErrorActoin SilentlyContinue

$Service = Get-Service -Name LASLMB -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue`

if($Service){
 $Service | Stop-Service -Force -Verbose
}

What is the code of lascore2.ps1?

Again, I would stick to PowerShell cmdlets instead of external commands.

ivcho_pifcho · February 26, 2021, 3:17pm

$TargetService = 'LASCORE'

$Services = Get-Service | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name

If ($TargetService -in $Service) {

Stop-Service -Name $TargetService

}

Else {

Write-Host "`n[$(Get-Date -Format 'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss')] $TargetService not running" -ForegroundColor Green

}

ferc · February 26, 2021, 3:34pm

Ok, so you are indeed dealing with services.

You need to change this:
‘If ($TargetService -in $Service)’

To this:
‘If ($TargetService -in $Services)’

$TargetService = 'LASCORE'

$Services = Get-Service | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name

If ($TargetService -in $Services) {
    Stop-Service -Name $TargetService
}
Else {
    Write-Host "`n[$(Get-Date -Format 'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss')] $TargetService not running" -ForegroundColor Green
}

ivcho_pifcho · February 26, 2021, 3:40pm

Thank you ferc. Now it’s work.

gcduvm · February 26, 2021, 4:27pm

Instead of getting a list of all services and then searching that list, why not just get the one service you’re interested in?

Using -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue will avoid error messages if that service isn’t present.

$Service = Get-Service -Name $TargetService -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

If ( $Service) {
    $Service | Stop-Service
}

I hope that’s helpful. It’s a good habit to avoid retrieving a full list of items and them filtering them if you can do the filtering in the initial request.

FWIW

Hi there,

I have no experence with powershell, i need a big help.
I need a script, that stop and start 3 services and then check that web sites are started. The Services named LASCORE, LASWEB,LASLMB.

I wrote a Script (See my Post bellow - first script), but sometime don’t work.

The Problem is that sometimes Serviec “LASCORE” don’t stop. After tree services stoped, must some Folder to deleted. (This works). Denn must be first servicee LASCORE to started and then chek that some links are alive (code 200) . When they are aktive, must be started next service - LASWEB, and then must be checked that same links are aktive etc. I wrote another script (see script 2 bellow), but can implement in first.

I will be very, very grateful if anyone can help me.

kvprasoon · March 2, 2021, 11:32am

Thats a lot of code to post . So it will be easier for anyone to read if you can format it better. Use below link to see how.

Ok,
Thank you kvprasonn for the explanation. I hope it’s clearer now.
It’s a first script:

I would like to add that the function for deleting folders has been added, because the same folders must be deleted after the three services have been stopped, after that muss services to started. This works without a problem.

Hi there,
I reworked my script but have another problem. The code that i need a help is:

$servicesLASCOREStart | % {Start-Service -Name "LASCORE"; Start-Sleep -s 10}
$CORESt = Get-Service -DisplayName "LASCORE" | Where-Object {$_.Status -eq "Running"}

If($CORESt.Status -eq "Running") {
		Write-Host "LASCORE is Running"
		Write-Host "Now check LAGO WEB Services"
	If($WebResponse1.StatusCode -eq 200 -and $REMOTEDB.StatusCode -eq 200 -and $LAGOFS.StatusCode -eq 200 -and $Message.StatusCode -eq 200) {
		Write-Host "LagoWebServices, LagoConfigServer, LagoRemoteDBare, LagoFS, LagoMessageBus are Running" -and $servicesLASWEBtart | % {Start-Service -Name "LASWEB"; Start-Sleep -s 10} 
		}
	else {
		$servicesLASCOREStart | % {Start-Service -Name "LASCORE"; Start-Sleep -s 10}
	 }
}

I want to start LASCORE and denn to show me that the service is running and nee d to check that all some sites are loading (Code 200). If this is successful, the next service must be started, otherwise the the service must be started again.
Thanks advance.

Olaf · March 3, 2021, 10:49am

If you have another problem you might create another new question. And what actually is your problem? You’re just told us what you want to do and should happen. But what is it what’s not working?

ivcho_pifcho · March 3, 2021, 10:57am

Ok,

I want to start serviec “LASCORE”.
Check status. If status is “Running”, then print a message "“LASCORE is Running” and “Now check LAGO WEB Services”
If Statuscode LAGO WEB Services is 200 (Website works), then print a message “… are started” and then started next Windows Services - LASWEB, else “star LASCORE” again.

Olaf · March 3, 2021, 3:11pm

You already told that. What is your problem?
