How to get all Windows service names starting with a regular word?

Question

There are several Windows services whose display name begins with a common name (here NATION). For example:

• STATE CITY
• NATION-STATE
• STATE Village

Is there any team to get all services like "NATION-". Finally, I need to stop, start, and restart such services using the promt command.

Answer 1

Got:)

sc queryex type= service state= all | find /i "NATION" 

• use /i for case insensitive search
• the space after type= intentional and necessary

Answer 2

Using PowerShell , you can use the following

 Get-Service | Where-Object {$_.displayName.StartsWith("NATION-")} | Select name 

This will display a list of all services whose name begins with "NATION -".

You can also immediately stop or start services;

  Get-Service | Where-Object {$_.displayName.StartsWith("NATION-")} | Stop-Service Get-Service | Where-Object {$_.displayName.StartsWith("NATION-")} | Start-Service 

or simply

  Get-Service | Where-Object {$_.displayName.StartsWith("NATION-")} | Restart-Service 

Answer 3

Save it as a .ps1 file, and then run

powershell -file "path\to your\start stop nation service command file.ps1"
