15.4. Exploring Services

Using Windows PowerShell to explore what services are installed or running on your machine is straightforward using the Windows PowerShell cmdlets designed to retrieve information about services or to modify their behavior.

The following cmdlets relevant to services are supported by Windows PowerShell version 1.0:

  • get-service — Retrieves a list of services

  • new-service — Creates a new service

  • restart-service — Restarts a stopped service or stops and restarts a running service

  • resume-service — Resumes a suspended service

  • set-service — Makes changes to the properties of a service

  • start-service — Starts a stopped service

  • stop-service — Stops a running service

  • suspend-service — Suspends a running service
