NSSM - the Non-Sucking Service Manager

Managing services from the command line

nssm's core functionality has always been available from the command line.

Service installation

nssm install <servicename>

nssm install <servicename> <program>

nssm install <servicename> <program> [<arguments>]

By default the service's startup directory will be set to the directory containing the program. The startup directory can be overridden after the service has been installed.
