This script will find the services listed in the variables set. If the service is not running, it will start the service. It also checks and starts the service in a specific order. It also reads the servers from a text file.

However, the question here is how do you make it so that if the service is not available, it will skip to the next available service? Currently, the script just stops when there is no service available.
