WinXP - how to get 'short' services names?

Post by grundy »

Hey all,

I can't seem to figure this one out. I need to run Oracle, MS SQL Server, Sybase, and occasionaly DB2 on my work laptop. I like to keep these services on manual start for performance reasons, and only start them when needed. I like to do this either through the command line, or through a batch file.

I can't find the 'short' service name in the services panel, so I'm forced to use a command like NET START "OracleServicesSBOX92"

I'm under the impression that there is a shorter name that I don't need to quote - but I can't find it. Does anybody know if that is the case, and if so where I can find that name?
