We are pleased to announce the first release of the CommandBox Service Manager 1.0.0.  The Service Manager is a commercial CommandBox module that allows you to create, update, and control Windows Services for your CommandBox servers with ease.  You can configure logging, auto-restart, and the user the service runs as.   This is ideal for a staging or production server setup where you want certain CommandBox servers to always be running, even if the server reboots.

Usage

 After you purchase and install module, you'll unlock a new set of "server service" commands to create and manage your services.

install commandbox-service-manager@ortus

server service create
server service start

Here is the full list of commands you can use:

• server service create - Create a new Windows service that will start a CommandBox server
• server service remove - Remove a Windows service
• server service update - Update settings for an existing service
• server service start - Start a service (same as clicking start in the Windows Services screen)
• server service stop - Stop a service (same as clicking stop  in the Windows Services screen)
