If count of files in directory greater than x then restart service

Question

Good Day,

I am seeking a method to have a scheduled task run frequently detecting if over 12 files in a designated folder (Let's say C:\Q) then reboot specified Windows Services.

I believe this would be possible with PowerShell but perhaps also possible with a batch/CMD file?

Thank you for your feedback.

Answer 1

This is very possible with PowerShell.

If ((Get-ChildItem "C:\Q").Count -gt 12){
    # Restart you service here
    # The cmdlets Stop-service and Start-Service should help you
}
