Restarting the WhatsUp Gold services from the command line

You can quickly restart the WhatsUp Gold polling engine and the Ipswitch Web Server using the NmServiceRestart.exe command line utility. This utility can be called directly from the command line or from batch scripts or scheduled tasks as part of your automated processes.

Usage

NmServiceRestart.exe [/s] [/p] [/w]

Parameter	Description
/s	Run in silent mode. When this option is included, the utility does not report any feedback.
/p	Restart the WhatsUp Gold polling engine only.
/w	Restart the Ipswitch Web Server only.

Note: If both /p and /w are specified, the utility restarts both services. If only one is specified, the utility restarts only the service that is specified.

Tip: You can use the WhatsUp Services Controller dialog (Ipswitch Service Control Manager) to manage services. For more information, see About the WhatsUp Services Controller.
