  • Best way to track changes to an AD Attribute?
    And then set that up as a windows service with WinSw. Source: 11 months ago
  • Which user to use for custom Windows services?
    I am using Windows Service Wrapper to convert some net programs (tor, frp, etc.) into autostart background services. It seems I can choose which user to use when launch these custom services. Coming from a Linux background, I am a little bit confused and overwhelmed by the Windows account and permission systems. I am wondering what's the best practice? Use Local System (probably not, it has very high privileges)?... Source: over 1 year ago
  • How we've approached reliability & cost savings for our strapped SaaS
    We use a third party library (winsw) to package our exe as a windows-serice. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Launch script FIRST at startup
    It's been a while since I don't do anything similar, but one of the most popular is NSSM (the Non-Sucking Service Manager) and another open and free alternative would be WinSW (Windows Service Wrapper). Source: over 1 year ago
  • Ensuring a stable bullet proof backend. How?
    There are projects which wrap an existing exe file and handle the service stuff for you, for example winsw or DaemonMaster. Another option is to write the service yourself, there's a Go package for that: https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/sys/windows/svc. Source: over 1 year ago
