Script Action: List services status
Function
With this script action, the name and status of services and drivers installed on a computer are collected and stored in an output variable. Once you have collected these data, you can manage the listed services using the Execute service command script action.
Deployment
Although this script action can be used in all UMRA modules, the most common usage would be an F&D implementation to collect and manage services. This would require two projects, Project A and Project B. Project A will contain the script action List services status to retrieve the services information. In Project B you define the columns you wish to display and the associated actions (Stop service, Start service, etc.)
