Install newlisp script into Windows Service

Now there is a requirement to make a newlisp script file into a Windows Service and start it automatically upon startup. Check the system environment and whether other processes are still running.

To run newlisp on Windows, you need to execute a command similar to this:

newlisp a.lsp

Therefore, write a BAT file to execute the above command. In this way, the problem is converted to how to install the BAT file into a Windows Service. The following is a detailed example.

Assume there is a daemon. LSP file with the following content:

(while true       (println "hello, I am daemon")       (append-file "c:\\t.txt" "mm")       (sleep 1000))

Write "mm" to the file c: \ t.txt every 1000 ms"

Write another daemon. BAT file with the following content:

newlisp C:\windows_service\daemon.lsp

Make sure that the absolute path is used to ensure that no error occurs when running Windows service.

Now download the nnsm program: http://nssm.cc/download? Page = download

After decompression, select a 32-or 64-bit program based on the platform and copy it to the Windows/system32/directory.

Run the following command:

nssm install my_daemon C:\windows_service\daemon.bat

The installation is successful.

Run the following command when starting:

net start my_daemon

Nssm.exe cannot be deleted or moved.

It is easy to uninstall Windows service.

nssm remove my_daemon confirm

Done.
