Use this Knowledge Script to start Windows services in response to an event.
You can specify a number of seconds to wait after initiating the service start command to check the status of the service and make that it was successfully started.
NOTE:If the service you specify has dependent services, enter the names of dependent services after the name of the primary service. For example, SQLServerAgent is a dependent service of MSSQLServer. To start MSSQLServer and its dependent service, specify MSSQLServer,SQLServerAgent for the Service name(s) parameter. In cases with multiple dependent services, specify the least dependent service first and the most dependent service last.
Set the following parameters as needed:
