Restart-Service (recursively)
Restart-Service (recursively)
http://bsonposh.com/archives/545
I often need to restart services on multiple machines and one of the biggest issues is the dependent services that also need to be restarted. I finally found time to write a script that will recursively stop and start dependent services.
Parameters:
- ServiceName: Name of the Service to restart (REQUIRED)
- Server: Name of the Server to restart the service on (Default is local server)
- Verbose: Enable verbose output
More Info:
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController
Restart-Service
$Server = $Env:ComputerName,
[Switch]$Verbose)
$VerbosePreference = "Continue"
[system.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.ServiceProcess") | out-Null
$ErrorActionPreference = "SilentlyContinue"
Write-Verbose " – ServiceName = $ServiceName"
Write-Verbose " – Server = $Server"
function Get-Dependents{
Param([System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController]$MasterService)
Write-Verbose " + Getting Dependent Services for $($MasterService.Name)"
foreach($dependent in $MasterService.DependentServices)
{
Write-Verbose " – Found Dependent Service [$($dependent.Name)]"
$dependent
Get-Dependents $dependent
}
}
Write-Verbose " – Getting Service [$ServiceName]"
$Service = New-Object System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController($ServiceName,$Server)
Write-Verbose " – Getting Dependent Services"
$DependentServices = Get-Dependents $Service
Write-Verbose " + Stopping [$ServiceName] and dependent Services"
$Service.Stop()
Write-Verbose " – Waiting for Service to Stop"
$Service.WaitForStatus("Stopped",(new-object system.TimeSpan(0,0,20)))
Write-Verbose " + Starting [$ServiceName]"
$Service.Start()
Write-Verbose " – Waiting for Service to Start"
$Service.WaitForStatus("Running",(new-object system.TimeSpan(0,0,20)))
foreach($dependent in $DependentServices )
{
$dependent.Refresh()
if($dependent.status -eq "Stopped")
{
$dependent.Start()
$dependent.WaitForStatus("Running",(new-object system.TimeSpan(0,0,5)))
}
}
$Service.Refresh()
$Service
$Service.DependentServices
