There is a tool I have installed on my machine - I believe it came with the Windows 2000 Resource kit (of sorts... obtained via TechNet) that gives a lot more data.
It's called 'netsvc'. Here's what it outputs: C:\>netsvc Controls and displays the status of services. NETSVC servicename \\computername /command servicename Name of the service computername Name of the computer to administer. /command One of the following: /query Queries the status of the service. /start Starts the service. /stop Stops the service. /pause Pauses the service. /continue Starts the paused service. /list Lists installed services (omit servicename) Example: NETSVC server \\joes486 /query Example: NETSVC "Clipbook Server" \\popcorn /stop Example: NETSVC alerter \\joes486 /pause Example: NETSVC /list \\joes486 Arguments are allowed in any order. When I do this: 'netsvc apache2 \\dash /query' it tells me this: Service is running on \\dash This tool also allows for remote administration (assuming the user that runs PHP (system? iuser_whatever?) has rights to the other machine). Hope this helps, -Dash God is not dead!
