What is NSSM - The Non-Sucking Service Manager?

nssm is a service helper which doesn't suck. srvany and other service helper programs suck because they don't handle failure of the application running as a service. If you use such a program you may see a service listed as started when in fact the application has died. nssm monitors the running service and will restart it if it dies. With nssm you know that if a service says it's running, it really is. Alternatively, if your application is well-behaved you can configure nssm to absolve all responsibility for restarting it and let Windows take care of recovery actions.

NSSM doesn't have a GUI, it's command-line only but very easy to use. The only allows you to install any executable as a Windows service and to start/stop/configure/remove any Windows service (even those not installed by NSSM). Everything else is left up to the Windows Service manager. Simple but sufficient.

Little file; Easy to use; One command in the admin prompt using the command line guide from the website and everything works great. You just need to store this one file on a place because it will be "in use" when the PC starts.

It ran an app as a service that some other programs could not without any extra configuration, has a simple nice GUI, does not need to be installed. Was the thing I was looking for!
