Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to restart certain services on remote machines. The screen has a place to input the ip address or machine name of the remote computer and then there is a combobox that has a list of the certain services. What I am trying to figure out is in the code to have the computer name or ip address that is typed in to go in where I have textbox1.text but doesn't seem to work with the "" around it.

What I have tried:

Here is the code I have:

VB

Process.Start("CMD", "/C sc \\Textbox1.text start Spooler")

I have also tried:

VB

Shell("sc \\Textbox1.text start Spooler")

Is there something else I am missing or am I looking at this all wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

Please do basic research before asking a question such as using google. Use the ServiceController class

ServiceController Class (System.ServiceProcess)[^]

ServiceController Constructor (String, String) (System.ServiceProcess)[^]

Obviously the account your code is running under will need the required permissions.

Yes. A very basic understanding of how strings work.

"/C sc \\Textbox1.text start Spooler"

This assumes you have a server on your network with the actual name of "Textbox1.text". I seriously doubt that.

This tells me that you don't have the smallest clue how strings work and how to get the value of a textbox into a string. You really need to start with the basics. I seriousy recommend you pick up a beginners book on VB.NET and start working through it.

This line really should be something along the line of

Dim args = String.Format("/C sc \\{0} start Spooler", Textbox1.Text)

But, there's a ton more wrong with what you're doing. I don't have the time to dig into that right now and a forum environment isn't the place for this.
