Cisco Security Manager – Shortcut to Restarting Services

The temptation might be to use the Windows Service Manager to stop and restart services. I found this took too much time.

Open a command window, and you can type

net stop crmdmgtd

and this will stop all Cisco Security Manager services. To start them again :

net start crmdmgtd

Since this takes minutes, you want to be able to chain these commands together so you do something else while you are waiting.

net stop crmdmgtd && net start crmdmgtd

You can see the output in the following screenshot.
