How to restart a windows service using Task Scheduler

Question

The easiest way to do this is to create a batch file with   NET stop  lt service name gt  NET start  lt service name gt    Once the batch file is created and tested  add it to Windows Task Scheduler and run it at a specific time interval  Problem here is  when the bat file is missing or corrupt  the service won t restart  So  are there other ways to restart a service at a specific time interval

Instead of using a bat file  you can simply create a Scheduled Task  Most of the time you define just one action  In this case  create two actions with the NET command  The first one to stop the service  the second one to start the service  Give them a STOP and START argument  followed by the service name   In this example we restart the Printer Spooler service   NET STOP  Print Spooler   NET START  Print Spooler        Note  unfortunately NET RESTART  lt service name gt  does not exist
