NSSM - THE NON-SUCKING SERVICE MANAGER

nssm is a service helper which doesn't suck. srvany and other service helper
programs suck because they don't handle failure of the application running as a
service. If you use such a program you may see a service listed as started when
in fact the application has died. nssm monitors the running service and will
restart it if it dies. With nssm you know that if a service says it's running,
it really is. Alternatively, if your application is well-behaved you can
configure nssm to absolve all responsibility for restarting it and let Windows
take care of recovery actions.

nssm logs its progress to the system Event Log so you can get some idea of why
an application isn't behaving as it should.

nssm also features a graphical service installation and removal facility. Prior
to version 2.19 it did suck. Now it's quite a bit better.
