Batch file to list specific running services

Hi, I need a batch file to be able to extract a list of machine names from the 'online.txt' file, ie,

for /f %%A in ('type "online.txt"') do (sc \\%%A query "servicename" | find "RUNNING")

then query a specific list of services running on remote machines, and output the results on screen. eg,
<MACHINENAME> <SERVICE> <RUNNING>

Give this a try.

default sc query is running services

stopped services
sc query state= inactive

all services
sc query state= all

@for /f "tokens=*" %%A in ('@type "online.txt"') do @for /f "tokens=1,* delims=: " %%B in ('@sc \\%%A query ^| @find /i "display_name:"') do @echo %%A,%%C,RUNNING

I am liking this....., but I could really do with looking for four specific services. eg, Print Spooler, McShield, + another 2 (that have not been decided on yet!). The output from listing all the services on the machines on the list would be a little too long to sort through on a daily basis.

Other than this minor point, the output from your script is perfect.

SERVICE_NAME: Spooler
DISPLAY_NAME: Print Spooler
TYPE : 110 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS (interactive)
STATE : 4 RUNNING
(STOPPABLE,NOT_PAUSABLE,ACCEPTS_SHUTDOWN)
WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
CHECKPOINT : 0x0
WAIT_HINT : 0x0
