Start windows service on remote machine using NSIS script

Question

Can I start a service on remote machine using NSIS script. I know we can use:

sc \\machine start servicename

through DOS prompt. But can we do the same in NSIS? Can SimpleSC be used for this?

Answer 1

You could use exec.

ExecWait 'net start $servicename'

Edit: Oh, you meant starting the service on the remote machine...well:

ExecWait 'sc \\machine start servicename'
