RE: Changing service auto to manual via batch

This reminded me of a nice use I discovered for the 'sc' command while working on windows. I was in an environment with many databases on a single server (sometimes over 10) and I couldn't figure out which "oracle.exe" process in Task Manager mapped to which database. A little frustrating at times, to be sure. However, the sc command will return the pid of the service and that makes it easy to map back.

To wit:

U:\>sc queryex oracleservicexe

SERVICE_NAME: oracleservicexe

        TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
        STATE              : 4  RUNNING
                                (STOPPABLE,PAUSABLE,ACCEPTS_SHUTDOWN)
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0
        PID                : 2144
        FLAGS              :

U:\>

Type 'sc' at the DOS prompt and see if anything there will work for you. Certainly deleting the service works, as I use that for listener services etc.

Subject: Changing service auto to manual via batch

Is there a way to change the "running services" status in the "Services"

window from Automatic to Manual via a batch script? I have a batch script
that uses oradim to shutdown/startup my 9207 databases on a WIN2003 server but don't know how to change the status from automatic to manual in the event the server administrator wants to reboot the machine a couple of times
before I have the databases restart. My oradim command in the batch job
looks like this:

oradim -shutdown -sid dbsid -shutmode I -shuttype SRVC >> %BASELOGS%\oracle_shutdown.log
