Question

How to check the status of the windows services from a java program?

Answer 1

This method will return true or false depending upon service is running or not.

public boolean checkIfServiceRunning(String serviceName) {
    Process process;
    try {
         process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sc query " + serviceName);
         Scanner reader = new Scanner(process.getInputStream(), "UTF-8");
         while(reader.hasNextLine()) {
            if(reader.nextLine().contains("RUNNING")) {
               return true;
            }
         }
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }            
    return false;
}
