# FindServices

The `FindServices` action returns a list of potential services.

If you are running Windows, you can submit the `a=FindServices` action without any additional parameters to search the Windows service list.

You can also set the optional `Path` parameter to search all subdirectories of the specified path.

## Example

`a=FindServices&Path=C:/HewlettPackardEnterprise`

Both forms of the action look for executable files that have an appropriate configuration file associated with them that specifies the service port.

In order for `FindServices` to detect services, executable files must have one of the following as the file extension:

- `.exe`
- `.EXE`
- `.Exe`

`FindServices` can also detect executable files on Unix-like systems that have no extension. Note that Windows extensions are case-insensitive, unlike those on Unix-like systems.

Note: You must have Windows administrator privileges to use this action.

## Parameters

Parameter | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
Path | Specifies a folder to search. |
