Batch file to start and stop servic

Hi!
I need a batch file to start and stop some specifig service. The service could be in example messenger.
I have now tried to make it with the guide of http://www.ss64.com/nt/sc.html which guides me to make it using SC and FIND command. And managed to get this kind of code:
SC query messenger | FIND "STATE" goto task%errorlevel% :task0 NET STOP messenger goto end :task1 NET START messenger :end exit
for some reason this aint working. The errorlevel status doesnt change. It is the same still even if the service is on or off.
Can this be done in some other way, or is there something I am doing wrong?

I have a somwhat similar problem. Need to stop a service while running a backup. When I Net Stop "Service" it responds with a message that a running service is dependent on it--we knew--and wants a "Y" or "N" to continue. How can I work the answer into the batch file so it is an unattended PRE-Command for Backup Exec?
