Start / Stop Window services

Question

Hi,
I would like to start and stop window services on remote computer.
Do you know if there is a package API in java to do it?
How can I do it?
Thanks,
Anat

Look for www.jscape.com
you can ftp or telnet to the computer, then start the command for that service
this is the code for ftp
