Batch Files to Restart Services on Windows

I wrote some batch files today for restarting services on windows. The bat files can be used to restart ColdFusion MX or IIS services on Windows NT/2000/XP.

Batch File to restart ColdFusion MX

@echo off
REM - File: cfmxrestart.bat
REM - Description: Restart's ColdFusion MX Services
REM - Author: Pete Freitag
echo Restarting ColdFusion MX...
echo ======================================================
net stop "ColdFusion MX Application Server"
net stop "ColdFusion MX ODBC Agent"
net stop "ColdFusion MX ODBC Server"
net start "ColdFusion MX Application Server"
net start "ColdFusion MX ODBC Agent"
net start "ColdFusion MX ODBC Server"
echo ======================================================
echo ColdFusion MX Restarted

Batch file to restart IIS

@echo off
REM - File: iisrestart.bat
REM - Description: Restart's IIS (Web, FTP, SMTP)
REM - Author: Pete Freitag
REM - ADD REM comments if you don't want to restart any
REM - of Services
echo Restarting IIS...
echo ======================================================
net stop "World Wide Web Publishing Service"
net start "World Wide Web Publishing Service"
net stop "FTP Publishing Service"
net start "FTP Publishing Service"
net stop "Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP)"
net start "Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP)"
echo ======================================================
echo IIS Restarted

Bat files are handy because you can restart multiple services with one command. You can either double click the bat file to run it, schedule it, or throw it in c:\windows\system32 and then run it from anywhere in the command prompt or (Start->Run)

I know it is not safest thing to do, but is there a simple way to execute a batch file from a web page ? I want to do this for some other APIs that crash occasionally. Thanks.

Why don't you check if what you post actually works before putting it online? The MS knowledgebase specifically states that: "NOTE: For each service, there is also a DisplayName value, which is the name listed in the Services applet in Control Panel and in the messages displayed after the NET STOP and NET START commands are run. However, these Display Names cannot be used as a parameter with the NET STOP and NET START commands." http://support.microsoft.com/kb/236166

Please chekc your facts before posting such nonsense.
