Stopping Services

Hi,

I am trying to stop some of the Windows NT Services running on the local server from my VB application using the following command.

lRetVal = WinExec("NET STOP MyService", 0)

But "MyService" is a Windows NT service which has "MyOtherService" as a dependant service. Since "MyOtherService" is still running, I am not able to stop "MyService". Well I could resolve this by first stopping "MyOtherService" and then stopping "MyService". But, I do not know at this point which are the other services that are dependent on "MyService". Hence the request for expert opinion.

Thanks,
Ashley
