Hello

is there a way to run a service via command line and specify the
priority at which it has to execute?

I know that you can do that with a normal .exe by doing

start /low namefile.exe

is it possible to do something like that (for example through "net
start") with a service?

Thanks
 
I know that you can start an application at a priority other than normal
with the start command. For example, start /belownormal C:\dir\appname.exe

Is there a way of doing this in the application's shortcut?

Not that I know of, without using third-party software.

I just create batch files and make shortcuts to those on my
desktop. Same difference.

Hi Dave,

I am anything but a cmdprompt expert (they hang-out in
microsoft.public.win2000.cmdprompt.admin) but the following worked for me:

- Create a shortcut to Notepad
- Right-click shortcut, click Properties, and in the Target: box enter the following:

cmd /c start /BELOWNORMAL C:\WINNT\NOTEPAD.EXE
