How do I restart SharePoint Timer Service from command line?
6 Answers
net stop "Windows SharePoint Services Timer"
net start "Windows SharePoint Services Timer"
I realize the OP is requesting a command-line solution, but using PowerShell (run as administrator), restarting the timer service is as easy as running:
restart-service sptimerv4

Alternatively, one at a time:
Stop-Service SPTimerV4
thenStart-Service SPTimerV4

SharePoint 2013: net stop SPTimerV4 / net start SPTimerV4
SharePoint 2007: net stop SPTimerV3 / net start SPTimerV3
SharePoint 2003: net stop SPTimer / net start SPTimer
And for SP2010/2013 to do this for all machines:
$farm = Get-SPFarm
$farm.TimerService.Instances | foreach { $_.Stop(); $_.Start(); }

What's about sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/110928/… ? View comments: From my findings the $farm.TimerService.Instances doesn't implement start() or stop(), so this shouldn't work at all.– KiquenetAug 6, 2014 at 11:25
REM - Save this in a .BAT file and set up a scheduled task that runs it periodically.
REM - This will recycle the SharePoint Timer Service, and also log it in the Event Viewer.
EVENTCREATE /T INFORMATION /L APPLICATION /ID 777 /D "Starting scheduled task: SP timer restart."
net stop SPTimerV4
net start SPTimerV4
if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 (
EVENTCREATE /T INFORMATION /L APPLICATION /ID 777 /D "Scheduled task: Restart succeeded for the SharePoint Timer Service (SPTimerV4 AKA 'SharePoint 2010 Timer'). ERRORLEVEL=%ERRORLEVEL%. The restart is done by Scheduled Task, which runs the batch file: C:\_________________ every _ hours."
exit /b
) else (
EVENTCREATE /T ERROR /L APPLICATION /ID 777 /D "Scheduled task: Restart failed for the SharePoint Timer Service (SPTimerV4 AKA 'SharePoint 2010 Timer'). ERRORLEVEL=%ERRORLEVEL%. Please stop and restart the service manually and investigate the issue preventing the restart. The restart is done by Scheduled Task, which runs the batch file: C:\___________________ every _ hours."
)
EXIT
