I have four windows services which start up automatically when the machine starts.

There after, I want to restart those services every 8 hours in a particular order.

For eg. Stop s1,s2,s3,s4 and than restart them in some other order like s4,s3,s2,s1. The condition is that I should wait for each service to stop completely before I stop another one.

I would want to write a .BAT or some script. Is it possible to define a CRON for 8 hours, this is not there in Advanced tasks ? Can I do it using windows scheduler ?

Please suggest. thanks in advance.
