- Flags
-
Value
Flag list
Description
This parameter is a set of extra options. Multiple options may be used by separating them by spaces. The following options are supported:
- ignoreerrors
- AeTrayMenu automatically disables a menu item when the specified action can't be performed on a service. However, when you're using batch action sections, this won't work. In that case, it's often handy to use the
ignoreerrors
flag to prevent the batch from getting stuck when a service is not available.
- waituntilterminated
- If you're executing multiple actions sequentially (in a batch action section), you can use this flag to suspend execution of the next action until the service has been started, paused, etc.
Example
Flags: ignoreerrors waituntilterminated
Example
Action: service; Service: mysql; ServiceAction: restart
