Run application as service

How can I run any app as a Windows service? Application as Service lets you run an application under a specified user account , launch programs before user logon (monitoring tools , surveillance utilities , etc ), and even in front of the Windows Logon screen. How to add applications to run at startup?


The application can be started automatically or manually. When the application runs as a web application under the web server , we must use the current directory as the content root.

But when the application runs as a service, we need an executable path as. The Windows Resource Kit has any executable, srvany. The setup is a little convoluted (requires a registry edit), but should work for most things that can be run as a user applicaiton.


Create Windows service from executable - Stack. Helping to run background jobs like monitoring tasks, copy jobs or check routines on a computer. Usable if application must be running with highest privileges and no user action is required.


Name the new string value “Application” and set the value to the program and command line arguments to run.

SRVANY will look for the “Application” key and run it when SCM tells it to start up. If you are designing an application to run as a Windows service it needs to be service-aware in that it must speak and honor constructs of the Service Control Manager. In the ActionsPane, click Create Basic Task. Follow the instructions in the Create Basic Task Wizard. We may want to check for Open the Properties dialog for this task when I click finish.


If the service install fails , the session will be run as an application as normal. Run the task as a service. It extends functionality of Task Scheduler by more flexible start-triggers (e.g. cron job), monitoring (e.g. for crashes), etc.


UWS provides also a SDK. Download the free 30-day trial today. With Application as Service by Eltima Software you can easily run app as service without any profound knowledge of computer systems. Moreover with Application as Service you not just run as service any application , but also schedule its launch and restart, manage it locally or remotely, in the background or in active mode.


Windows service applications run in their own security context and are started before the user logs into the Windows computer on which they are installed. Its running your application as Windows service , most they are for backend. Also more informations you can check here: nssm.


FireDaemon Pro allows you to create, manage, schedule, monitor and control custom Windows services that run off the shelf or your in house developed applications continuously or on demand.

NET Core console application on systemd. Spring Boot applications may also be started as Windows service using Procrun of the Apache Commons Daemon project. Procrun is a set of applications that allow Windows users to wrap Java applications as Windows services. Such a service may be set to start automatically when the machine boots and will continue to run without any user being logged on.


These services can be automatically started when the computer boots, can be paused and restarte and do not show any user interface. This rules it out for what many people are trying to do since most programs that are designed ro run as a Service have that option included somewhere in the application. Unattended crow though.
