Re^2: Remotely Start/Stop Services

The modules that you suggested would work great if the remote systems were Linux. But it looks like the OP in a Windows only environment. Windows doesn't come with an SSH server. Although someone could install something like openSSH or Cygwin to get an SSH server running on Windows, I'm not entirely sure that the SSH environment in that case would have to utilities to control Windows services. I personally have never tried that so I guess I could be wrong about that.

Anyways, IMHO I still think it will be much quicker and easier to use PsService or PsExec from the SysInternals suite.

Hi dasgar, I have tried these modules on Windows and they work fine. If the OP wants to login to servers, he will have to have ssh installed on the Win Workstation from which he will be firing his queries. That is why I suggested the options.
