Hi,<br />
<br />
&nbsp; I have a service called &quot;workflow&quot; in services.msc (on Windows 2008 Std) that becomes ineffective from time to time, so I end up restarting it once a week on average when the user calls me.<br />
&nbsp;Can I create a DOS command script, store in .BAT file and have it run once a day so that I don't have to open SERVICES.MSC and re-start every time the user calls me with the problem.<br />
<br />
Path to Executable:<br />
C:\Program Files\Software Systems, Inc\DirectoryName\Workflow<wbr />.exe<br />
Logon as &quot;Local System Account&quot;<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Hi,

  I have a service called "workflow" in services.msc (on Windows 2008 Std) that becomes ineffective from time to time, so I end up restarting it once a week on average when the user calls me.
 Can I create a DOS command script, store in .BAT file and have it run once a day so that I don't have to open SERVICES.MSC and re-start every time the user calls me with the problem.

Path to Executable:

Thanks.

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.
