Windows command to get service status?

Question

I need to know the status of a service at the end of my batch script which restarts services using \"net stop thingie\" and \"net start thingie\".

In my most favorite id

Answer 1

my intention was to create a script which switches services ON and OFF (in 1 script)

net start NameOfSercive 2>nul
if errorlevel 2 goto AlreadyRunning
if errorlevel 1 goto Error

...

Helped a lot!! TYVM z666

but when e.g. service is disabled(also errorlevel =2?)it goes to "AlreadyRuning"and never comes to

if errorlevel 1 goto Error  ?!!

i wanted an output for that case ...

 :AlreadyRunning
 net stop NameOfSercive
 if errorlevel 1 goto Error


 :Error
 Echo ERROR!!1!
 Pause

my 2 Cents, hope this helps
