Start and Stop VisualSVN Server batch

Question

how can stop and start a VisualSVN Server via batch/console (windows) command?

My Setup:

• VisualSVN Server 3.2
• Subversion 1.8.11
• Windows Server 2008

Answer 1

VisualSVN Server 3.2 has 3 Windows services and each of them has to be stopped separatly:

• VisualSVN Server (VisualSVNServer): HTTP service,
• VisualSVN Distributed File System (vdfsscv): the service provides multisite replication for Subversion repositories (the service not enabled by default),
• VisualSVN Repository Configurator (vrepocfgsvc): the service provides Repository Management Delegation feature (the service not enabled by default).

Some examples below.

Using VisualSVN Server's WMI provider (via PowerShell):

Start HTTP service:

$service = Get-CimInstance -Namespace root\VisualSVN -ClassName VisualSVN_Service -Filter "Name = 'VisualSVNServer'"
Invoke-CimMethod -InputObject $service -MethodName StartService

Stop HTTP service:

$service = Get-CimInstance -Namespace root\VisualSVN -ClassName VisualSVN_Service -Filter "Name = 'VisualSVNServer'"
Invoke-CimMethod -InputObject $service -MethodName StopService

Using SC.exe from cmd.exe command prompt:

Stop VisualSVN Server's HTTP service: sc stop VisualSVNServer,

Start VisualSVN Server's HTTP service: sc start VisualSVNServer.
