Stop and Disable Service/Enable and Start Service - fixlet/tasks?

Howdy - I am hoping someone can assist me with creating a task or fixlet that will stop and disable a service if it exists and then another that will enable a service and start it if it exists.

I have found a couple things I am testing, but so far no luck. I did find the commands below which I am testing now. But what I want to do is add an Else statement if possible, so if “service1” does not exist, then look for another service as the name is going to be 1 of 2 possibilities.

IE: If Messenger doesn’t exist then goto another statement and there I can specify “Messenger2” as the name of the service. This will allow me to create 1 action to do what I am tasked with to stop and disable these 2 services, and 1 to enable and start them, as opposed to 4 separate items. Can anyone assist?

if {(exists service “Messenger” and state of service “Messenger” as lowercase = “running”)}
WAITHIDDEN CMD.EXE /C NET STOP "Messenger"
wait “{pathname of client folder of site “BESSupport” & “\changeservicestartmode”}” “Messenger” disabled

You’re on the right track. You want to use an if/elseif/endif block, e.g.

if {(exists service "Messenger" whose (state of it as lowercase = "running"))}
   ...actionscript steps...
elseif {(exists service "Messenger2" whose (state of it as lowercase = "running"))}
   ...actionscript steps...
endif
