powershell service if scripts - powershell

Question

I am trying to right a script to check if a services is running on one of our servers if the services are running just write an event log, but if the services are stopped run another script outside of this script. I am running to issues with verifying if the services are running. I am sure it's simple but I am not that proficient in if statements. Any help is much appreciated.
# Service Status
$Service='Spooler'
# Check service
((get-service $service).Status -eq 'Running')
$Service2='VMTools'
((get-service $service2).Status -eq 'Running')
Execute Restarting Script if Stopped Service
{
if ($service.Status -eq 'Stopped')
$service = False
{
elseif($Service2.Status -eq 'Stopped')
"$service2 = False"
}
else {
Z:\SeviceRestart.ps1
} } Write-EventLog -LogName "Service_TestScript" -Source
"Service_TestScript" -EventId 1 -Message "Verified $service ,
$service2 are running"
My script now
Service Status
$Service='Ipswitch SSH Server'
$Service2='Ipswitch WS_FTP Server'
function RestartServiceIfStopped([string]$service) {
$serviceStatus = (Get-Service $service).Status
if ($serviceStatus -eq 'Stopped'){
Start-Service -displayname $service
Write-Host "Started $service"
}
elseif ($serviceStatus -eq 'Running'){
Write-Host "Service $service is running"
}
Write-EventLog -logname application -source MyApplication -eventid 1 -message "$service is running" }
$hostname = 'FTP02'
$smtpServer = '####'
function SendMailMessageIFStopped([string]$service)
{
$serviceStatus = (Get-Service $service).Status
if ($serviceStatus -eq 'Stopped'){
Send-MailMessage -To '####' -Subject "Restarting Printspooler Service on $hostname" -Body "This is an automated message
to confirm that the $Service , $Service2 service on $hostname
is about to be restarted as part of failure, after recieving this message please check system to confirm." -From
test#test.com -SmtpServer $smtpServer } }
RestartServiceIfStopped "Ipswitch SSH Server"
RestartServiceIfStopped 'Ipswitch WS_FTP Server'
Write-EventLog -Entrytype Warning -LogName "Service_TestScript"
-Source "Service_TestScript" -EventId 1 -Message "Verified $service , $service2 are running"

Answer 1

You can simplify your script
function RestartServiceIfStopped([string]$service)
{
$serviceStatus = (Get-Service $service).Status
if ($serviceStatus -eq 'Stopped'){
Start-Service -displayname $service
Write-Host "Started $service"
}
elseif ($serviceStatus -eq 'Running'){
Write-Host "Service $service is running"
}
#Write-EventLog -logname application -source MyApplication -eventid 1 -message "$service is running"
}
RestartServiceIfStopped "Spooler"
For EventLog, you will have to create an event source using New-EventLog cmdlet (once per host).

Figured it out I had to put the Send-MailMessage under the first IF-statement
