Syntax
sc [<ServerName>] failureflag [<ServiceName>] [<Flag>]
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
<ServerName> |
Specifies the name of the remote server on which the service is located. The name must use the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) format (for example, \\myserver). To run SC.exe locally, omit this parameter. |
|
<ServiceName> |
Specifies the service name returned by the getkeyname operation. |
|
<Flag> |
The default value is 0 (no action). If this parameter is set to 1, and if the user has already configured recovery actions for service failures, the recovery actions will also be triggered if the service stops because of an error. |
|
/? |
Displays help at the command prompt. |
Remarks
Set this flag if your service fails but can usually be restarted without any problem.
Examples
To trigger an existing recovery action for service failures, type:
sc failureflag flag=1
