I assume that you are using some sort of service wrapper (like
srvany.exe), since node.exe itself cannot run as a service at the
moment. It could be that your service wrapper is just restarting your
node process when it exits. It seems unlikely to me that
process.exit() would just be ignored.
You probably should send a service stop signal, with something similar
to:
`require('child_process').spawn('sc', ['stop', 'myservicename']);`
