How to restart a service on the esx host with vi toolkit

[chavez9119]

Is it possible to restart esx services (such as syslogd, hpasm, hpsmhd) via a Powershell script using the VI API?

I have a powershell script that invokes plink.exe to do it but I would rather not have to use plink.

Afaik, there are no such APIs.

There is the Start-VmHostService cmdlet but that is only for a very limited set of services (ntpd, sshd, vmware-vpxa).
