Start the Central Administration via PowerShell

To list the Central Admin list in Farm

 following code will start the Central Admin if its not started, if its started and online already it will show you a warning message.

cls
# This command loads the Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell DLL.
# This DLL is required if you are using Windows PowerShell.
[string]$Snapin="Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"
if ((Get-PSSnapin $Snapin -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null)
{
Write-Host "Loading Snapin: $Snapin";
Add-PSSnapin $Snapin
}
else
{
Write-Host "Snapin already loaded: $Snapin";
}

Get-SPServiceInstance | Where-Object {$_.TypeName –eq ‘Central Administration’} | Start-SPServiceInstance

Hope this helps.
