LKBEN10664: Howto stop a service with dependencies from a command line or script without question in windows
Symptom
When you stop a service from the command line and this service has dependencies the system askes you to answer yes or no
Cause
This is by design
Solution
The "net stop" command has a parameter which is not commented. This parameter is /yes and will automatically stop all the dependent services too.
So to stop a service with or without dependencies you just type
net stop spooler /yes
The spooler has no dependencies but to stop the enteo esiCore service you can use
net stop esiCore /yes
and it will stop all dependent services too.
