- NSSM: The Non-Sucking Service Manager
- Version 1.0, 2003-05-30
- NSSM is a service helper program similar to srvany and cygrunsrv. It can
- start any application as an NT service and will restart the service if it
- fails for any reason.
- NSSM also has a graphical service installer and remover.
- Installation
- ------------
- To install a service, run
- nssm install servicename
- You will be prompted to enter the full path to the application you wish
- to run and any commandline options to pass to that application.
- Use the system service manager (services.msc) to control advanced service
- properties such as startup method and desktop interaction. NSSM may
- support these options at a later time...
- Managing the service
- --------------------
- NSSM will launch the application listed in the registry when you send it a
- start signal and will terminate it when you send a stop signal. So far, so
- much like srvany. But NSSM is the Non-Sucking service manager and will take
- action if/when the application dies.
- NSSM will try to restart itself if it notices that the application died but
- you didn't send it a stop signal. NSSM will keep trying, pausing 30 seconds
- between each attempt, until the service is successfully started or you send
- it a stop signal.
- Removing services
- -----------------
- NSSM can also remove services. Run
- nssm remove servicename
- to remove a service. You will prompted for confirmation before the service
- is removed. Try not to remove essential system services...
- Licence
- -------
- NSSM is public domain. You may unconditionally use it and/or its source code
- for any purpose you wish.
