how to check service state using vbscript? - service

Question

Is there anyway to check the status of service using vbscript ? I would like to have a function for each possible service state :
LINK
Any help would be great. I did write a function for checking if service is stopped :
Public Function IsServiceStop(ByVal serviceName)
On Error Resume Next
Dim objServices, service
Set oWmiService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2")
Set objServices = oWmiService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Service where Name='" & serviceName & "'")
For Each service In objServices
IsServiceStop = (service.Started = False)
Exit Function
Next
IsServiceStop = True
On Error Goto 0
End Function

Answer 1

When in doubt, read the documentation. All you need to do is check the State property of the service object:
serviceName = "..."
Set wmi = GetObject("winmgmts://./root/cimv2")
state = wmi.Get("Win32_Service.Name='" & serviceName & "'").State
WScript.Echo state

Answer 2

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
Set colListOfServices = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_Service Where Name ='" & strServiceName & "'")
For Each objService in colListOfServices
status = objService.State
Next
Reporter.ReportEvent micPass, "startService", "Service status " & status

' Checks if services exists and is running
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colRunningServices = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Service Where Name='Messenger'")
nItems = colRunningServices.Count
' If the collection count is greater than zero the service will exist.
If nItems > 0 Then
For Each objItem in colRunningServices
If objItem.State = "Stopped" Then
Wscript.Echo objItem.DisplayName & " Installed/Stopped"
ElseIf objItem.State = "Started" Then
Wscript.Echo objItem.DisplayName & " Installed/Running"
End If
Next
Else
Wscript.Echo "Service Not Installed"
End If
