The standard utilities provided with Windows aren't capable to sort out the services, to find what services are in a given state. Fortunately, there's a sc.exe utility from the Resource Kit, and it can be of help. Use its 'query' syntax to find out services; e.g., to find all the services that are not running at the moment, type
sc query type= service state= inactive
Note: the spaces after equal signs are mandatory.
If you only need to determine a state of a given service, type
sc query servicename
sc query type= service state= inactive
Note: the spaces after equal signs are mandatory.
If you only need to determine a state of a given service, type
sc query servicename
