accessing Service Control Manager

NTFSD

does anybody know whether I can access the Service Control Manager (SCM)
under NT4, to be able to start/stop a service which is cooperating with
my kernel mode driver ?

if so, what calls can I use ?

thanks,

Bob.

Look in MSDN, there is lots of information on how to interact with services.
