I'm running apache and mysql and php on my workstation but i would like to be able to start and stop myql service manually from my desktop without to having to go in the administrative tool every time.
does anyone know if it's possible to create a shortcut or a vbscript to start and stop a service?

thank you

Sony

Hey sony,

Do you have an icon (traffic light) in your system tray? If so, right click on that, and there should be an option to shut down the server (MySQL).

[Edit]
I should also add that I am running MySQL on a Windows 9x machine... It may be a totally different set up if you are using an OS based on NT.

Hope this helps,

You can use a batch file most likely ;)

Check here :)

Hope that helps some :)

Here is one to use as an example :)

Code:

cd C:\apache

start apache -k start

cd &nbsp;C:\apache

start apachemonitor.exe

cd &nbsp;C:\mysql\bin

start mysqld-nt.exe --standalone

start http://localhost/

exit

You can create two small batch files and put them on your desktop. One to start the service and one to stop it.

MySql_stop.bat:
net stop <service name>

MySql_start.bat:
net start <service name>

Yea just use net start and net stop to start and run services. I use a batch file when I play games on my old computer.

Closes every un-needed service.
