Restart service actions

Hello,
I'm trying to get an action to restart a service manually, like an iisreset or just a windows service. I have been able to create an event handler to restart
the service when it fails but not on demand. I need to be able to give this ability to our Noc. Any help would be awesome.

Hello,
I don't believe that is what I'm looking for, In the details of the service that I'm monitoring in the quick actions
window I would like to be able restart, stop or start the service from there.
Thanks

We have a document for that too!

As far as the scripting for restarting it, that's not something we have readily available.

Thanks Willem!
rburger, look at the bottom of the second document that hsmith posted and it will show you all available macros, I believe you also have to use the full path to your script (you can't use $USER1$).
