How to check service startup type from batch script? (in windows 7)

问题

I need to start a service from batch file (using sc start XXX), but ONLY if it is configured with an automatic start up type.

I read the instructions of sc /? and I tried calling first to sc qc XXX command in order to query for it's configuration and then use findstr on the result, but I got the following error after sc qc XXX command:

[SC] QueryServiceConfig FAILED 122:

The data area passed to a system call is too small.

[SC] GetServiceConfig needs 718 bytes

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

Which is odd, because I am able to call sc config XXX and stop/start it from command line.

Am I missing something? Is there a better way to do it?

回答1:

Ok, I just figured it out.

First, I must apologize , since the original error was actually:

[SC] QueryServiceConfig FAILED 122:

The data area passed to a system call is too small.

[SC] GetServiceConfig needs 718 bytes

and not

[SC] OpenService FAILED 1060:

as I first said.

Apparently, I had to explicitly add a buffer size to my service : sc qc XXX 1000

After doing that, i noticed that BINARY_PATH_NAME field was extremely long for XXX, so I guess that default memory allocation was not enough.

Now, since I basically owe StackOverflow my career, I will post my full code :)

rem start a service, but only if it is configured as automatic, and only if it isn't running already
for /F "tokens=3 delims=: " %%H in ('sc qc %xxx% 1000^| findstr "START_TYPE"') do (
    if /I "%%H" EQU "AUTO_START" (
        rem check if service is stopped
        for /F "tokens=3 delims=: " %%H in ('sc query %xxx% ^| findstr "STATE"') do (
            if /I "%%H" EQU "STOPPED" (
                echo net start %xxx%
                net start %xxx%
            ) else (
                echo %xxx% is already running
            )
        )
    ) else (
        echo Skipping %xxx% since it's not defined as automatic start
    )
)
