great scripts. i used them together, first stop then start, since those two actions got executed almost in the same time. so the agent may still be stopping, the start would start it, thus causing "1056, 'An instance of the service is already running.'". so it would be nice to mention a possible wait between the two:
WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:05'
GO
