node-service-manager

A Linux(and soon Windows) Service Manager for node.js

How to use

Services can be installed in two ways

• Via node.js code using the node-service class
• Via servicemgr that comes with the package(when using npm install)

Via code

var service = require('service-manager');
var svc = new service.Service({
  name: "test",
  displayname: "Test Server",
  description: "This is a test server!",
  run: "node",
  args: ["/root/test-server.js"]
});

// To install the service
svc.install();

// To uninstall the service
svc.uninstall();

Via the command-line

servicemgr install test node /root/test-server.js

servicemgr uninstall test
