Restart a windows service from command line
I'm familiar with the "net start", "net stop", etc. to manage a service in windows, but do you know of a "restart" command?

You can combine the two into one command to restart a service:
net stop "Service Name" && net start "Service Name"
Not aware of a restart command line command.

On a service that's behaving normally your suggestion works great, my problem is that I have a 3rd party app that has a deffective service that hangs between start and stop, so I can only restart (as the only logical step remaining), I can't stop the service because according to its status it's already "stopped" or sort-of stopped, and I can't restart it because it's already "sarted" or sort-of started, that's why I'm left with the "Restart" option. And I'm thinking since windows offers the "Restart" command, it must be known / available for use from the command line.
You can script this
Step 1 find the name of the service and query svcname
take the PID from the step and then run “taskkill /PID xxxx /F”
you can write this into a simple bat file and pass in the service name

You should be able to use the taskkill command to terminate a hung service:
So combined:
net stop "ServiceName"
taskkill /f /fi "services eq ServiceName"
net start "ServiceName"
So combined:
net stop "ServiceName"
taskkill /f /fi "services eq ServiceName"
net start "ServiceName"
Use the following:
sc \\computername stop "ServiceName"
taskkill /s computername /f /fi "services eq ServiceName"
sc \\computername start "ServiceName"
Technically you should only ask one question per thread, but it's the season of goodwill :)
