Windows services with java

[Presidente]

Somebody can help me to write a program in Java, which is able to find
if a Windows service has been started or not.
I mean, i need to know whether a specified service has been started or
not, if it isn't runnign i start it.
Thanks.

Sorry, but I do not think you can do this in java directly. You need
access to some windows API's to do this..

Lazy man's way is to issue "net start" command. Windows Lan Manager
calls still give you a full list of services running. Try it with DOS
Single Command Line Shell (start->run->cmd). You can go:
net start "Event Log"
or
net stop "Event Log"

That's really lazy! Or you can look into Service Control Manager and
write some C code. It's fairly trivial as well.

Best luck,
