I have downloaded node.js executable. How can I run that executable as windows service? I cannot use standard node.js installer, since I need to run multiple version of node.js concurrently.
Late to the party, but node-windows will do the trick too.
It also has system logging built in.
There is an API to create scripts from code, i.e.
var Service = require('node-windows').Service;
// Create a new service object
var svc = new Service({
name:'Hello World',
description: 'The nodejs.org example web server.',
script: 'C:\\path\\to\\helloworld.js'
});
// Listen for the "install" event, which indicates the
// process is available as a service.
svc.on('install',function(){
svc.start();
});
svc.install();
