Trying to wait for a service to stop

[Gary Kuznitz]

I'm trying to:
stop a service in XP
Loop Checkig it's status until it stops
copy a new program for starting the service
copy a new program for viewing
starting the service

I'm getting an error saying:
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
        0 file(s) copied.
        1 file(s) copied.
The uvnc_service service is starting.
The uvnc_service service was started successfully.

The bat file I am using to try to do this (which isn't working) is:
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
net stop UVNC_service >nul
for %%a in ("UVNC_service") do call :GETSRVSTAT %%a&if /i not
"!status!"=="Running" goto :COPY
echo All services are running...
goto :COPY
:GETSRVSTAT
set status=
for /f "tokens=4" %%a in ('sc query "%~1" 2^>NUL^|findstr STATE') do set
status=%%a

:COPY
copy /y "%PATH_BIN%winvnc.exe" "%programfiles%\UltraVNC"
copy /y "%PATH_BIN%vncviewer.exe" "%programfiles%\UltraVNC"
start /d "%programfiles%\UltraVNC" winvnc.exe -servicehelper"
net start UVNC_service
::exit
CMD

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thank you,

Both the below options will goto :COPY

>for %%a in ("UVNC_service") do call :GETSRVSTAT %%a&if /i not
>"!status!"=="Running" goto :COPY
>echo All services are running...
>goto :COPY

>:GETSRVSTAT
>set status=
>for /f "tokens=4" %%a in ('sc query "%~1" 2^>NUL^|findstr STATE') do set
>status=%%a

and after the above routine it will fall through to :COPY as well.

>:COPY
>copy /y "%PATH_BIN%winvnc.exe" "%programfiles%\UltraVNC"
>copy /y "%PATH_BIN%vncviewer.exe" "%programfiles%\UltraVNC"

There's are errors in the following line it seems

>start /d "%programfiles%\UltraVNC" winvnc.exe -servicehelper"
>net start UVNC_service
>::exit
>CMD

This might help (untested)

setlocal
net stop UVNC_service >nul
:loop
echo waiting for the service to stop
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 >nul
net start|find /i "UVNC_service">nul&&goto :loop
if not exist "%programfiles%\UltraVNC\" md "%programfiles%\UltraVNC"
copy /y "%PATH_BIN%winvnc.exe" "%programfiles%\UltraVNC" >nul
copy /y "%PATH_BIN%vncviewer.exe" "%programfiles%\UltraVNC" >nul
start "" "%programfiles%\UltraVNC\winvnc.exe" -servicehelper
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 >nul
net start UVNC_service

Thank you Foxidrive,

That worked great.  It's so nice to have a way to do things like this.
