Windows-service looks very nice, well done! Jeremy: winser is a wrapper around nssm with some friendly defaults for node.js. It will install the application as a service and it will run it with "npm start". Some PROs I see in *winser/nssm*:
- nssm in my opinion has more time around and it has an special behavior for exits. See Service shutdown, Actions on exit and Restart throttling in this link <http://nssm.cc/usage>. - winser doesn't need python, Visual Express, etc in order to install. Stephen you can workaround this with a fallback to a prebuilt binary in your package, please have a look to my windows event log<https://github.com/jfromaniello/windowseventlogjs>package, it try to build but if the build fail it will use a prebuilt version. - when running the application with winser the *current working directory * is the place where you have the package.json file, no need to change that Pros I see in *windows-service* - an api to define services inside node. The examples shown in the readme are very good and if you think about it there are a lot of things that work in that way, (with --install, etc) - no extra dependencies, since it is all done in c 2013/2/22 Jeremy Darling <[email protected]> > What is the difference in this and WinSer using NSSM?
