Hello Everyone,
Hope all is well.
I have a question on shutting down the applications running on a remote servers.
By applications I meant they are services running from a console on remote servers and all I want to is to stop the service. Currently I am logging in to the server and hitting an enter key to stop this service running from console but the problem is I have almost like 30 servers and I had to logon to each inividual server and hit enter, so I want to do this through psexec. On the remaining servers I have VB 6 and VB 8 applications running which I want to stop as well(I dont want to kill anything but stop). I was thinking if there are any commands in powershell that I can use and have psexec invoke them on remote servers.
Did anyone come up with such a scenario. I need your valuable inputs.
Thanks a bunch in advance.

It sounds as though they are console applications as opposed to Windows Services. If so, I assume that they are waiting for a keypress from the console that launched them. If that is the case then there is no way I know of remotely doing the equivalent of a "SendKey".
If they were Windows Services then you can easily manage these remotely.

Yes... You are right... its waiting on a key to stop the console...is there anything that can be done to stop the console at the registry level while the console is running.

The only way I know is to kill the process and I would NEVER recommend doing that as a standard procedure.
Sorry that I can't be more helpful.
