A Node.js library for running Node scripts as native Windows background services, with event log integration and elevated-privilege helpers. It is aimed at production deployment of Node applications on Windows rather than development.
Use cases
- install a node script as a windows service
- run node app in background on windows
- write to windows event log from node
- run a command with elevated privileges from node
- kill a windows task by pid from node
When to choose
- you need to deploy a Node.js app as a production Windows service
- you need Windows event logging or UAC elevation from Node
When to avoid
- you need service support on Linux or macOS
- you are looking for a development-time process manager like nodemon
