Two Scripts: START then END Application

I'm running low on resources and am not wanting to upgrade, so it looks like a script to the rescue! Basically I work with Oracle 11g on my computer. Here are the 2 scripts that I'm looking to do. Please help. Thanks.

Script 1: Start Oracle 11g

Code:

START Service A
START Service B
START Service C
START Service D

WAIT Until Service A, Service B, Service C, Service  D is STARTED

'Services A-D all MUST be running BEFORE continuing

Check to see if PROCESS A.exe is running

'PROCESS A.exe MUST be running before continuing.  Process A will automatically execute after the said services above are started.

Access Program LNK

Here's Script #2. Note that I will close the program by itself, I just need to stop associated services and processes.

Code:

STOP Service A
STOP Service B
STOP Service C
STOP Service D

END Process.exe A

Do you really mean services or do you mean programs?

To start services you use net start xxxxxx
To stop services you use net stop xxxxxx

You can use tasklist to see if a process is running tasklist | find "xxxxxx.exe" but I can't seem to get it to work right in a batch file. If I can then I believe you can also use ERRORLEVEL to determine if the process is running or not. I'll play with it some more ...

So having that said, here is a work in progress:

Script 1:

Code:

net start OracleDBConsoleorcl
net start OracleMTSRecoveryService
net start OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener
net start OracleServiceORCL

'Need code to wait until oracle.exe Process is running

'Need code to access application LNK

Script 2:

Code:

net stop OracleDBConsoleorcl
net stop OracleMTSRecoveryService
net stop OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener
net stop OracleServiceORCL

'Need code to END oracle.exe process

One thing I'm curious about. Does the name of the service need quotation marks? What if the service in question had a space in it? (i.e. Plug and Play)
