Getting error in my script

I keep getting an error message stating

"Exception calling "Start" with "0" argument(s): "Cannot start service RTCRGS on computer 'CORPxxxxxxx.xxxx.net'."
At line:25 char:18
+ $_.Start <<<< ()
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) , MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException"


Any suggestion on why this happens and how to fix it?

$services = "RTCRGS"
$SvrName = 'CORPxxxx.xxxx.xxxx'
Get-Service -ComputerName $SvrName -Name $services | %
Write-host "$($_.Name) on $SvrName is $($_.Status)"
if ($_.Status -eq 'stopped')
Write-Host "Starting $($_.Name) in 5 sec..."
Start-Sleep 5
Write-Host "$($_.Name) is Starting, please wait..."
$_.Start()
Write-Host "Checking status of service, please wait for 25 sec..."
Start-Sleep 20
Write-Host "$($_.Name) on $SvrName is $($_.Status)"
elseif ($_.Status -eq 'running')
Write-Host "Restaring $($_.Name) in 5 sec..."
Start-Sleep 5
$_.Stop()
Start-Sleep 5
Write-Host "$($_.Name) is Starting, please wait..."
$_.Start()
Write-Host "Checking status of service, please wait for 25 sec..."
Start-Sleep 25
Write-Host "$($_.Name) on $SvrName is $($_.Status)"




Start-Service

-ComputerName

$_.Start()

If the service is NOT disabled (and you have checked you can restart it manually) you might be better of with something like this

$services = "RTCRGS"
$SvrName = 'CORPxxxx.xxxx.xxxx'
Get-Service -ComputerName $SvrName -Name $services | ForEach-Object
Write-host "$($_.Name) on $SvrName is $($_.Status)"

if (@("Stopped","StopPending","Paused","PausePending") -contains $_.Status)
Write-Host "Starting service $($_.Name), please wait..."
$_.Start()

else
Write-Host "Stopping service $($_.Name)..."
$_.Stop()
# as HAL9256 suggested, perform a loop to see if service has really stopped
do
# recheck the ACTUAL status, not the status you captured before
$newStatus = (Get-Service -ComputerName $SvrName -Name $_.Name).Status
while ($newStatus -ne "Stopped")
Write-Host "$($_.Name) is Restarting, please wait..."
$_.Start()


Write-Host "Checking status of service, please wait for 25 sec..."
Start-Sleep 25

# here again you should recheck the ACTUAL status, not the status you captured before
$newStatus = (Get-Service -ComputerName $SvrName -Name $_.Name).Status
Write-Host "$($_.Name) on $SvrName is $newStatus"
