The SCM Pre-shutdown Delay dialog box lets you specify the length of the time that the Service Control Manager should wait before proceeding with other shutdown tasks. This dialog box opens in the following scenario:

•

You are configuring a service in the Services view, or in the Advanced Settings area for a component in the Setup Design view (installation projects only) or the Components view.

•

The Configure SCM pre-shutdown delay option is selected in the Configuration Type setting for an event in the Configure Settings category of settings in the right pane, and you click the ellipsis button (...) in the Arguments setting for that event.

Select the appropriate option. To reset the time delay to the default of 3 minutes, select the Default option.

The Service Control Manager waits for the specified period of time after sending the SERVICE_CONTROL_PRESHUTDOWN notification to the service. The change takes effect the next time that the system is started.
