Question

I would like to know how to check if a service is running using a batch file

e.g.

if xxxx service is running
go to start stage2.bat
else go to echo Service not running

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Similar to How to check if a process is running via a batch script

EDIT:
From the post, with an added else statement:

tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq myapp.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "myapp.exe">NUL
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" (
    call stage2.bat
) else (
    echo Program is not running
)

For a service:

sc query "ServiceName" | find "RUNNING"
if "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" (
    call stage2.bat
) else (
    echo Program is not running
)
