# Synopsis

```
Usage:
  aptible services:settings [--app APP] SERVICE [--force-zero-downtime|--no-force-zero-downtime] [--simple-health-check|--no-simple-health-check] [--restart-free-scaling|--no-restart-free-scaling] [--stop-timeout SECONDS]

Options:
      [--app=APP]
  --env, [--environment=ENVIRONMENT]

# Examples

```shell theme={null}
aptible services:settings --app "$APP_HANDLE" SERVICE \
        --force-zero-downtime \
        --simple-health-check
```

```shell theme={null}
aptible services:settings --app "$APP_HANDLE" SERVICE \
        --stop-timeout 60
```

#### Force Zero Downtime

For Services without endpoints, you can force a zero downtime deployment strategy, which enables healthchecks via Docker's healthcheck mechanism.

#### Simple Health Check

When enabled, instead of using Docker healthchecks, Aptible will ensure your container can stay up for 30 seconds before continuing the deployment.

#### Restart Free Scaling

When enabled, scaling operations that only change the number of containers will not restart existing containers.
