Send keep alive

The Service Manager sends keep alive messages to the service every minute. This lets the service know that it should forward the messages to an active Service Manager. If the service does not receive a keep alive for 3 minutes it will stop forwarding the messages to the Service Manager. This allows the CPU utilization and network traffic to be kept to a minimum when the Service Manager is not running.

This option sends a keep alive message to the service. This function is for debug purposes only.
