NSSM - The Non-Sucking Service Manager

What is NSSM - The Non-Sucking Service Manager?

The Non-Sucking Service Manager (NSSM) is a versatile tool that addresses the shortcomings of traditional service management programs. Unlike other service helpers like srvany, NSSM actively monitors the running service and automatically restarts the application if it unexpectedly terminates. This ensures that the service remains functional, even if the underlying application encounters issues or failures. With NSSM, users can have confidence that a service listed as "started" is truly running as intended, providing a reliable and transparent service management solution

Highlights

• Automatic service restart: NSSM monitors the running service and automatically restarts the application if it stops unexpectedly, ensuring the service remains functional
• Transparent service status: NSSM provides an accurate representation of the service's status, unlike other service helpers that may report a service as running even when the underlying application has failed
• Flexible configuration: NSSM allows users to configure the service to either handle application recovery or delegate that responsibility to Windows, depending on the application's behavior
• Comprehensive service management: NSSM provides a comprehensive solution for managing services, addressing the shortcomings of traditional service management programs.
