        This parameter is used when piping in the details
         
        Designed to work together with the Get-AxEnvironment cmdlet
         
    .PARAMETER ShowOutput
        Switch to instruct the cmdlet to output the status for the service
         
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Start-AxEnvironment -Server TEST-AOS-01 -DisplayName *ax*obj*
         
        This will start the service(s) that match the search pattern "*ax*obj*" on the server named "TEST-AOS-01".
         
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Start-AxEnvironment -Server TEST-AOS-01 -DisplayName *ax*obj* -ShowOutput
         
        This will start the service(s) that match the search pattern "*ax*obj*" on the server named "TEST-AOS-01".
        It will show the status for the service(s) on the server afterwards.
         
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Get-AxEnvironment -ComputerName TEST-AOS-01 -Aos | Start-AxEnvironment -ShowOutput
