# ControlMethod

The control method to use to add, edit, start, restart, or stop the service.

You can use one of the following values:

- `SCM`. Use Windows services to control services.

  If you use the `SCM` control method, you must set the SCMServiceName parameter.

- `Script`. Use a Linux script to control services. The Controller server uses the script that you specified in the parameter for the AddService or EditServiceInfo actions.
- `Process`. Use a server process to add, edit, start, restart, or stop the service.

Note: For the `UpdateServiceConfig` action, you need to set the `ControlMethod` parameter only when you set `RestartService` to `True`.

Actions: | AddService, EditServiceInfo, RestartService, StartService, StopService, UpdateServiceConfig
Type: | String
Default: | `Process`
Required: | No
Example: | `ControlMethod=SCM`
