start-service: Start a service by using its name.
$ Start-Service -Name ${service_name}
try on your machine

The command "Start-Service -Name ${service_name}" is a PowerShell command used to start a service with a specific name.

  • "Start-Service" is a PowerShell cmdlet (command-let) used to start a service on a local or remote computer.
  • "-Name" is a parameter of the "Start-Service" cmdlet that signifies the name of the service to be started.
  • "${service_name}" is a placeholder or variable that represents the actual name of the service. The "${}" syntax is used to refer to a variable in PowerShell.

To use this command, you need to replace "${service_name}" with the actual name of the service you want to start. For example, if the service you want to start is named "MyService", the command would become "Start-Service -Name MyService". This will initiate the starting process for the "MyService" on the local computer.
