OpenLMI Service usage ===================== Some common use cases are described in the following parts. List services ------------- List all services available on managed machine, print whether the service has been started (TRUE), or stopped (FALSE) and print status string of the service:: for service in c.root.cimv2.LMI_Service.instances(): print service.Name + ": "+ ("1" if service.Started else "0") + " (" + service.Status + ")" List only enabled by default services (automatically started on boot). Note that value of EnabledDefault property is '2' for enabled services (and it's '3' for disabled services):: for service in service_cls.instances(): if service.EnabledDefault == service_cls.EnabledDefaultValues.Enabled: print service.Name See available information about the 'cups' service:: cups = c.root.cimv2.LMI_Service.first_instance({"Name" : "cups.service"}) cups.doc() Start/stop service ------------------ Start and stop 'cups' service, see status:: cups = c.root.cimv2.LMI_Service.first_instance({"Name" : "cups.service"}) cups.StartService() print cups.Status cups.StopService() print cups.Status Enable/disable service ---------------------- Disable and enable 'cups' service, print EnabledDefault property:: cups = c.root.cimv2.LMI_Service.first_instance({"Name" : "cups.service"}) cups.TurnServiceOff() print cups.EnabledDefault cups.TurnServiceOn() print cups.EnabledDefault
