Example: list services using the -r option (stop/start services)

Use the -r option to restart (refresh) HP Operations Manager for Windows services. By default, this command option stops and restarts the services.

To stop the services add the STOP action qualifier. To start services, use the START action qualifier. When stopping a service, the vpstat utility considers the service that is not responding to be blocked and terminates its process after 20 seconds. For example to start the OvDnsDiscovery service, use the following command:

command prompt: vpstat -3 ovdnsdscr -r START

result:

Services on	 : LOCAL MACHINE
Starting services...
  ovdnsdscr
Waiting for services to start...
  ovdnsdscr
