We have a tool based on sql 2000 that uses the scm.exe (Service Control
Manager) command line utility to communicate with a service. scm.exe was
apparently pulled from SQL2005. What is the equivalent >>command line<< tool?

TIA!

Can you not just use sc.exe?

That depends on what sc.exe is. ;-)

Now that I know what to look for that may work for us.

Thanks for the quick response.
