Basically extra commands to a program if it supports it.

For example, an application may be multi core aware but by default only uses one core, the developer may make it take up multiple cores if started with the switch /cores 2 or if a program can span to multiple GBs of memory, there may be a switch that tells it the maximum it can take up - /maxmemory 1024

It is not built in and always there "because it is a service", it is something specific to each individual service programmed by the developer.

Basically they're just command-line parameters you pass to an executable file. They vary from service to service, check the service help docs for what parameters it accepts. – invert – 2009-11-13T14:05:20.503

its the same as command line parameters? because i am trying to read any parameter from the program and i got 0 zero parameters altought i am writing "/Debug" in this text box – Karim – 2009-11-13T16:19:16.937
