I'm not sure that you can do this in your app. I think you might have to create a batch file that does this for you...

This will involve a lot of importing Win32 APIs into your code. I've never done it b4 but here are some functions (WIN32 APIs) that you can look into:

OpenSCManager() to get SCM handle
OpenService() to get the service handle
ControlService() to stop the service
CloseServiceHandle() to clsoe the service handle

Good Luck,
