Task Service - Restart Service​

With VisualCron you can control local or remote Windows services. The Restart service Task tries to stop a service (for 3 minutes) then, when service has stopped, it starts the service again.

Credentials

To control a remote computer you may need to use a Credential. The Credential must match the user name and password of the user that you want to login for. Select a Credential in the combo box or click the Settings icon to open Manage credentials in order to add or edit Credentials.
