Modifying service parameters with sm_service

The parameters for a service can be modified with the sm_service install action.
Installing programs as services with sm_service on page 71
provides additional information. The
--
force option, which overwrites the existing parameters, must be used with the install action when you modify a service.
The syntax for the sm_service install action (to modify service parameters) is:
sm_service install --force
You must type this command with administrative privileges.
To modify service parameters:
  1. Stop the existing service with the
    sm_service stop
    action.
  2. Use the
    sm_service show
    action with the
    --
    cmdline option to display the command line that was used to install the existing service.
  3. Use the
    sm_service install
    action with the
    --
    force option, copy the displayed command line from step 2 after the
    --
    force option, and modify the parameters that need to be changed.
  4. Start the modified service.
