Changes since 2.24
|
|
------------------
|
|
* Allow skipping kill_process_tree().
|
|
|
|
* NSSM can now sleep a configurable amount of time after
|
|
rotating output files.
|
|
|
|
* NSSM can now rotate log files by calling CopyFile()
|
|
followed by SetEndOfFile(), allowing it to rotate files
|
|
which other processes hold open.
|
|
|
|
* NSSM now sets the service environment before querying
|
|
parameters from the registry, so paths and arguments
|
|
can reference environment configured in AppEnvironment
|
|
or AppEnvironmentExtra.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.23
|
|
------------------
|
|
* NSSM once again calls TerminateProcess() correctly.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.22
|
|
------------------
|
|
* NSSM no longer clutters the event log with "The specified
|
|
procedure could not be found" on legacy Windows releases.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed failure to set a local username to run the service.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.21
|
|
------------------

* Existing services can now be managed using the GUI
|
|
or on the command line.
|
|
|
|
* NSSM can now set the priority class and processor
|
|
affinity of the managed application.
|
|
|
|
* NSSM can now apply an unconditional delay before
|
|
restarting the application.
|
|
|
|
* NSSM can now optionally rotate existing files when
|
|
redirecting I/O.
|
|
|
|
* Unqualified path names are now relative to the
|
|
application startup directory when redirecting I/O.
|
|
|
|
* NSSM can now set the service display name, description,
|
|
startup type and log on details.
|
|
|
|
* All services now receive a standard console window,
|
|
allowing them to read input correctly (if running in
|
|
interactive mode).
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.20
|
|
------------------
|
|
* Services installed from the GUI no longer have incorrect
|
|
AppParameters set in the registry.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.19
|
|
------------------
|
|
* Services installed from the commandline without using the
|
|
GUI no longer have incorrect AppStopMethod* registry
|
|
entries set.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.18
|
|
------------------
|
|
* Support AppEnvironmentExtra to append to the environment
|
|
instead of replacing it.
|
|
|
|
* The GUI is significantly less sucky.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.17
|
|
------------------
|
|
* Timeouts for each shutdown method can be configured in
|
|
the registry.
|
|
|
|
* The GUI is slightly less sucky.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.16
|
|
------------------
|
|
* NSSM can now redirect the service's I/O streams to any path
|
|
capable of being opened by CreateFile().
|
|
|
|
* Allow building on Visual Studio Express.
|
|
|
|
* Silently ignore INTERROGATE control.
|
|
|
|
* Try to send Control-C events to console applications when
|
|
shutting them down.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.15
|
|
------------------
|
|
* Fixed case where NSSM could kill unrelated processes when
|
|
shutting down.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.14
|
|
------------------
|
|
* NSSM is now translated into Italian.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed GUI not allowing paths longer than 256 characters.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.13
|
|
------------------
|
|
* Fixed default GUI language being French not English.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.12
|
|
------------------
|
|
* Fixed failure to run on Windows 2000.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.11
|
|
------------------
|
|
* NSSM is now translated into French.
|
|
|
|
* Really ensure systems recovery actions can happen.
|
|
|
|
The change supposedly introduced in v2.4 to allow service recovery
|
|
actions to be activated when the application exits gracefully with
|
|
a non-zero error code didn't actually work.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.10
|
|
------------------
|
|
* Support AppEnvironment for compatibility with srvany.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.9
|
|
-----------------
|
|
* Fixed failure to compile messages.mc in paths containing spaces.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed edge case with CreateProcess().
|
|
|
|
Correctly handle the case where the application executable is under
|
|
a path which contains space and an executable sharing the initial
|
|
part of that path (up to a space) exists.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.8
|
|
-----------------
|
|
* Fixed failure to run on Windows versions prior to Vista.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.7
|
|
-----------------
|
|
* Read Application, AppDirectory and AppParameters before each restart so
|
|
a change to any one doesn't require restarting NSSM itself.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed messages not being sent to the event log correctly in some
|
|
cases.
|
|
|
|
* Try to handle (strictly incorrect) quotes in AppDirectory.
|
|
|
|
Windows directories aren't allowed to contain quotes so CreateProcess()
|
|
will fail if the AppDirectory is quoted. Note that it succeeds even if
|
|
Application itself is quoted as the application plus parameters are
|
|
interpreted as a command line.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed failed to write full arguments to AppParameters when
|
|
installing a service.
|
|
|
|
* Throttle restarts.
|
|
|
|
Back off from restarting the application immediately if it starts
|
|
successfully but exits too soon. The default value of "too soon" is
|
|
1500 milliseconds. This can be configured by adding a DWORD value
|
|
AppThrottle to the registry.
|
|
|
|
Handle resume messages from the service console to restart the
|
|
application immediately even if it is throttled.
|
|
|
|
* Try to kill the process tree gracefully.
|
|
|
|
Before calling TerminateProcess() on all processes assocatiated with
|
|
the monitored application, enumerate all windows and threads and
|
|
post appropriate messages to them. If the application bothers to
|
|
listen for such messages it has a chance to shut itself down gracefully.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.6
|
|
-----------------
|
|
* Handle missing registry values.
|
|
|
|
Warn if AppParameters is missing. Warn if AppDirectory is missing or
|
|
unset and choose a fallback directory.
|
|
First try to find the parent directory of the application. If that
|
|
fails, eg because the application path is just "notepad" or something,
|
|
start in the Windows directory.
|
|
|
|
* Kill process tree when stopping service.
|
|
|
|
Ensure that all child processes of the monitored application are
|
|
killed when the service stops by recursing through all running
|
|
processes and terminating those whose parent is the application
|
|
or one of its descendents.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.5
|
|
-----------------
|
|
* Removed incorrect ExpandEnvironmentStrings() error.
|
|
|
|
A log_event() call was inadvertently left in the code causing an error
|
|
to be set to the eventlog saying that ExpandEnvironmentStrings() had
|
|
failed when it had actually succeeded.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.4
|
|
-----------------
|
|
* Allow use of REG_EXPAND_SZ values in the registry.
|
|
|
|
* Don't suicide on exit status 0 by default.
|
|
|
|
Suiciding when the application exits 0 will cause recovery actions to be
|
|
taken. Usually this is inappropriate. Only suicide if there is an
|
|
explicit AppExit value for 0 in the registry.
|
|
|
|
Technically such behaviour could be abused to do something like run a
|
|
script after successful completion of a service but in most cases a
|
|
suicide is undesirable when no actual failure occurred.
|
|
|
|
* Don't hang if startup parameters couldn't be determined.
|
|
Instead, signal that the service entered the STOPPED state.
|
|
Set START_PENDING state prior to actual startup.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.3
|
|
-----------------
|
|
* Ensure systems recovery actions can happen.
|
|
|
|
In Windows versions earlier than Vista the service manager would only
|
|
consider a service failed (and hence eligible for recovery action) if
|
|
the service exited without setting its state to SERVICE_STOPPED, even if
|
|
it signalled an error exit code.
|
|
In Vista and later the service manager can be configured to treat a
|
|
graceful shutdown with error code as a failure but this is not the
|
|
default behaviour.
|
|
|
|
Try to configure the service manager to use the new behaviour when
|
|
starting the service so users who set AppExit to Exit can use recovery
|
|
actions as expected.
|
|
|
|
Also recognise the new AppExit option Suicide for use on pre-Vista
|
|
systems. When AppExit is Suicide don't stop the service but exit
|
|
inelegantly, which should be seen as a failure.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.2
|
|
-----------------
|
|
* Send properly formatted messages to the event log.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed truncation of very long path lengths in the registry.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.1
|
|
-----------------
|
|
* Decide how to handle application exit.
|
|
|
|
When the service exits with exit code n look in
|
|
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<service>\Parameters\AppExit\<n>,
|
|
falling back to the unnamed value if no such code is listed. Parse the
|
|
(string) value of this entry as follows:
|
|
|
|
Restart: Start the application again (NSSM default).
|
|
Ignore: Do nothing (srvany default).
|
|
Exit: Stop the service.
|
|
|
|
Changes since 2.0
|
|
-----------------
|
|
* Added support for building a 64-bit executable.
|
|
|
|
* Added project files for newer versions of Visual Studio.
|
