SQL SERVICE HELPER (sqlsrvhelper.bat)

Adam Plocher

https://gist.github.com/aplocher/

https://github.com/aplocher

USAGE:

sqlsrvhelper.bat /start|/stop [instance_name]

EXAMPLE:

Starting and stopping the default instance:

sqlsrvhelper.bat /start
sqlsrvhelper.bat /stop

Starting and stopping an instance named SQL08R2

sqlsrvhelper.bat /start SQL08R2
sqlsrvhelper.bat /stop SQL08R2

WHY NOT JUST USE 'NET START' OR 'NET STOP'?

I wanted a solution I could easily implement that would pause upon error, but the window would disappear without user intervention when the service was started or it was already running (or stopped). It also needed to be portable and optionally support colorized text output in the command line.
