Using the DOS killall Utility with Symphony Services

Symphony comes with a dos utility that can be used to automatically start, stop or restart the Symphony Services. This can be faster than individually managing the services from the Services console in Windows (accessed by running Services.msc from the Start > Run command).

 

Using the killall utility will not restart the SQL Database.
