# Restart-LTService

> Restart the LTService and LTSvcMon Windows services.

## Synopsis

Restarts the `LTService` and `LTSvcMon` Windows services by calling `Stop-LTService` followed by `Start-LTService`. All behavior from those two functions applies, including the pre-stop `Kill VNC`/`Kill Trays` commands, the port conflict check on startup, the up-to-1-minute wait for each transition, and the final `Send Status` check-in command.

## Syntax

```powershell theme={null}
Restart-LTService [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## Parameters

<ParamField path="WhatIf" type="SwitchParameter">
  Shows what would happen if the command runs without actually executing it. Neither `Stop-LTService` nor `Start-LTService` perform any real changes.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="Confirm" type="SwitchParameter">
  Prompts for confirmation before restarting the services.
</ParamField>

## Behavior

* Both `LTService` and `LTSvcMon` must already be installed. The function returns an error if either service is not found.
* Calls `Stop-LTService` first. If that call fails, the function returns without attempting to start the services.
* Calls `Start-LTService` after a successful stop. If that call fails, the error is written and the function returns.
* On success, outputs `Services Restarted successfully.`

## Examples

Restart the LabTech agent services:

```powershell theme={null}
Restart-LTService
```
