passwords Service accounts and services

Group,
I need to change a bunch 'o service accounts' passwords, then go to every
service that uses these accounts, and configure their passwords
appropriately. To do this I whipped up a little script that visits every
server in AD and checks the list of services on it. For each account that I
need to change I can tell the script to change that service's password,
however, here's my question . . . I will need to stop and start that service
at that point won't I? My feeling is that it will continue to run under the
old security context (old username and password) and will eventually lock
out the account that it relies upon. Hopefully I am incorrect, or else,
there is some nifty work-around. Any ideas?

Thanks!
