Overview

A service wrapper enabling arbitrary programs to be installed and run as Windows Services, programs that run in the background, rather than under the direct control of a user. They are often automatically started at boot time.

It is especially important for Java programs, as Java itself doesn't support creating system services.

Usage

1. Download and unpack files

2. Install service:

    sc.exe create NAME binPath= "C:\test\service.exe \"java -jar C:\test\application.jar\"" type= own start= auto error= ignore
   

3. Run service from "Control Panel" or "Computer Management"

4. Uninstall service:

    sc.exe delete NAME
