# SystemdCmd

The command to use to start, stop, or restart a service using systemd.

When you configure services with `ControlMethod=script` and set this parameter, Controller starts and stops services using commands suitable for systemd.

When you configure the service, set InitScriptPath to the full path of the systemd unit service file, for example `/etc/systemd/system/content.service`. Controller then attempts to start or stop the service by running:

    systemdcmd start content.service

or

    systemdcmd stop content.service

where `systemdcmd` is the value of this parameter.

TIP: Micro Focus recommends that you do not run IDOL Controller as the root user.
