isServiceRunning()

Determines if a service is running on the managed machine. Specify the service name.

• True if the service name is running.
• False if the service name is stopped or does not exist.

Note: Be sure to use the service name of the service, not the display name of the service. For example, the display name of the service for Microsoft SQL Server is SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER), but the service name of the service is MSSQLSERVER. For Windows machines, right click any service in the Services window and click the Properties option to see the service name of that service.

Example

If isServiceRunning("RemoteRegistry")
