you can do it using task scheduler<br>1. open notepad, write the following<br><pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-43085461-1"><span>net stop "Service Name" /y</span>
<span>Net start "Service Name" /y</span>
</code></pre>(To locate the correct service name, right-click the service in <em>Services&nbsp;</em>and select&nbsp;<em>Properties,&nbsp;</em>use the "Service Name:", also add /y to stop and start the dependencies)<br>2. save as service-restart.bat<br>3. open task scheduler, create a basic task, choose the file and set when you want to run it, you may set also (run with highest privileges) and run silent<br><br>you can find extra information here&nbsp;<a href="https://support.pelco.com/s/article/Configure-a-Windows-service-to-restart-on-a-schedule-using-Task-Scheduler-1538586706677" rel="ugc">https://support.pelco.com/s/article/Configure-a-Windows-service-to-restart-on-a-schedule-using-Task-Scheduler-1538586706677</a>

Louis, thank you for the reply. I did not give enough info i guess. <br>I have to restart the SQL agent service, but agent service depends on sql server service.<br>SQL server service will be running most of the time and I should not restart that if it is running. Only i will start that SQL server if it is stopped.

So you could, in your script, check if service is running before starting it<br><br><pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-43085944-1"><span>$ServiceName = 'TheService'</span>
<span>$arrService = Get-Service -Name $ServiceName</span>
<span></span>
<span>if ($arrService.Status -ne 'Running')</span>
<span>{</span>
<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Start-Service $arrService</span>
<span>}</span>
</code></pre><br>

I would like to restart services at night at 10 PM, but the services depend on another service.<br />
Is there any PowerShell script which will take care? I also want the script to notify when it complete.
