Stop Windows Service

Stops an existing Windows service.

Stop-Service(
	Name: <text>,
	[WaitForStoppedStatus: <true/false>],
	[FailIfServiceDoesNotExist: <true/false>]
);

This operation may be prefixed with Windows::, although this is a built-in namespace and isn't really necessary.

Arguments:

Name	Format	Script Usage	Usage Notes
☆ Service name (default)	text	Name	This argument is required.
Wait for stopped status	true/false	WaitForStoppedStatus
Fail if service does not exist	true/false	FailIfServiceDoesNotExist

Example:

# stops the HDARS service on the remote server
Stop-Service HDARS;
