Hi,
I got the following script from this website..however, it gives
me an error which says 'invalid exit statement'

===========
ServiceGetStatus "Application Management"
Dim status, string
Dim running
ServiceGetStatus "Application Management",status

IsEqual status, "RUNNING", running
IfThen running, DONE

IsEqual status,"START PENDING", running
IfThen running, DONE

START_SERVICE:
ServiceStart "Application Management"

ServiceGetStatus "Application Management", status

IsEqual status, "RUNNING", running
IfThen running,NOTIFY_OK,NOTIFY_FAIL

NOTIFY_OK:
MailSend "SMTPINT","smtpext@fulcrumconnections.biz", "24x7 Scheduler"
DONE:

NOTIFY_FAIL:
MailSend "SMTPINT","smtpext@fulcrumconnections.biz", "24x7 Scheduler"
DONE:

Exit

==================

why is it so? you may try at your end..

pls guide..

thanks in advance

There are 2 issues:
1. ServiceGetStatus in the first line is invalid and not needed - just remove that line
2. ServiceGetStatus uses service names rather then service display names. "Application Management" happens to be display name that it will not be able to find. The real name is "AppMgmt" Therefore the third line should be changed to
ServiceGetStatus "AppMgmt",status

Similarly you need to change ServiceStart and ServiceGetStatus in other lines to refer to AppMgmt.

If you need to find out service name open services properties in the Computer Management / Services applet. This name is displayed in the first line in the Properties dialog above the modifiable display name field.

fyi..i am running the script from windows command prompt

After looking at your script, I noticed several other issues, for example, in line 3 you declare "running" variable without specifying the datatype. It should be like this

Dim running, Boolean

Below is the corrected script

====================
Dim status, string
Dim running, boolean

// get service status
ServiceGetStatus "AppMgmt",status

// if running or starting, we have nothing to do
IsEqual status, "RUNNING", running
IfThen running, DONE
IsEqual status,"START PENDING", running
IfThen running, DONE

// start service
ServiceStart "AppMgmt"

// verify service started
Wait 10
ServiceGetStatus "AppMgmt", status

// if running, send success notification, otherwise send error notification
IsEqual status, "RUNNING", running
IfThen running, NOTIFY_OK, NOTIFY_FAIL

NOTIFY_OK:
MailSend "SMTPINT", "smtpext@fulcrumconnections.biz", "", "24x7 Scheduler", "Service Application Management has been started"
Exit

NOTIFY_FAIL:
MailSend "SMTPINT","smtpext@fulcrumconnections.biz", "", "24x7 Scheduler", "Unable to start Application Management service"

DONE:
====================

By the way, the same task could be accomplished much easier in the 24x7 Event Server.

*Dim running, boolean *

Where and how are you running it?

Are yo uaware that this script is for 24x7 Scheduler's JAL job engine?
