restart every monring.

Open a CMD prompt and type net start while the service is running.
locate the exact name of the service in the list resturned.
If it is "Appache Tomacat Service", as an example, the
create a batch job:

@echo off
net stop "Appache Tomacat Service"
net start "Appache Tomacat Service"


Schedule the batch to run in the local system account:

AT 07:00 /every:M,T,W,Th,F,S,Su c:\folder\batchname.bat

ok I understand creating the batch file. How do I go
about scheduling it to run on the local system account?

I'd add a pause/sleep command to have it wait fro a few seconds. Just in
case. I've seen services (Print Spooler is one) that fail to start when I
manually try to "Restart" the service.
