Hi Soumitra, I think you should actually create a "servicecontroller" task that allows any service to be started, paused, continued or stopped ...
so you'd have something like this : <servicecontroller service="w3svc" action="Start | Stop | Continue | Pause" machine="<computername>" /> you could also add another attribute to indicate if the task should wait for a specific state to be reached by the service. So instead of creating a wrapper around net.exe, I would recommend using the System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController class to control the services.
