Restart dvbservice via webinterface | Process task?

[gr8red]

Hi,

 

since I`m completely dump when it is comming to scripts/tasks etc. I would like to ask for help creating a task that will restart the dvbservice.

 

I`m using mostly the streaming/transcoding capabilities of Recording Service and very offten program hungs. Since I`m far waway from the computer I stuck in dead end.

 

Please advise me.

I triedt to perform the restart with a .bat file.

 

net stop DVBVRecorder

net start DVBVRecorder

 

Unfortunately it is stoping the service but is not able to start it again.

 

Any ideas ?

Maybe this helps:

Google for shutdown.exe and how to use it.

This is a Microsoft prog for shutdown or reboot.

It works differently according to your OS.

 

This will not only restart the Service but the whole PC, but until there are a better way....

 

Then you should try to activate the shutdown.exe as process task in the recservice webinterface (page Timers --> link Tasks)

 

Please let us know if it works, for other people searching this.

you can't restart the service from within itself.

Thanks for your replies.

 

As toi shutdown I was thinking about this but this would be the final solution.

 

@Lars I would like to execute a BAT file locally via Webinterface, so DVBService will only take care of launching a BAT file.

 

But I have doubt if stop/start dvbvrecorder could not be replaced with a command pointing to dvbvservice.exe with stop and start parameters.
