Use the Device Services page on the Process Management
page to view, start, stop, pause, and resume device services on managed
systems running Windows®. Device
services are the noninteractive programs that enable high-level
applications to perform various functions. For example, I/O drivers
running on a system serve as support programs for application suites
that perform word processing, database, and print functions. Each
row of information represents a service.
Note: This task requires the IBM® Systems
Director Launched Tasks program. This

requires it. For information about the IBM Systems
Director Launched Tasks program, see "Starting
