stop-service:tldr:b65b0
The command "Stop-Service -Name ${service_name} -Force -Confirm" is used in PowerShell, a command-line shell and scripting language, to stop a Windows service.
Here is a breakdown of the different parts of the command:
-
"Stop-Service": This is the cmdlet (commandlet) used to stop a service in PowerShell.
-
"-Name ${service_name}": This is a parameter that specifies the name of the service to stop. "${service_name}" is a placeholder variable where you should replace it with the actual name of the service you want to stop.
-
"-Force": This is an optional parameter that forces the service to stop, even if it has dependent services or processes running. By default, PowerShell prompts for confirmation if there are dependencies.
-
"-Confirm": This is another optional parameter that prompts for confirmation before executing the stop service command. It asks for user confirmation before performing the action.
Overall, this command allows you to stop a Windows service specified by its name, forcefully if necessary, and with confirmation if desired.
