How to restart a service in PowerShell

To restart a service in PowerShell, use the Restart-Service cmdlet.

This cmdlet allows you to restart a service by specifying its name or by using the -InputObject parameter to pass an object representing the service to the cmdlet.

Example

Here is an example of how to use the Restart-Service cmdlet to restart a service by name:

Restart-Service -Name "MyService"

In this example, the Restart-Service cmdlet is used to restart the service named "MyService".

You can also use the Get-Service cmdlet to retrieve an object representing the service, and then pass that object to the Restart-Service cmdlet using the -InputObject parameter.

For example, the following code retrieves the service object and uses it to restart the service:

$service = Get-Service -Name "MyService"
Restart-Service -InputObject $service
