Add nginx.exe as Windows system service (like Apache)?
I set up NGINX as a front end server for static content and I use Apache as a back-end server for other thing.
The thing is I can't find a logical answer that allows me to make nginx.exe a Windows system service (like my Apache).
Any come across an answer to this?
How to do it with Windows Service Wrapper
(Note: There are promising alternatives by now - see also NSSM solution described in answer below from Adamy.)
winsw-1.xx-bin.exe to something like nginxservice.exe . Place an XML file next to the exe with the same base name, eg nginxservice.xml . The contents should be like below (verify your nginx location).
<service>
<id>nginx</id>
<name>nginx</name>
<description>nginx</description>
<executable>c:nginxnginx.exe</executable>
<logpath>c:nginx</logpath>
<logmode>roll</logmode>
<depend></depend>
<startargument>-p</startargument>
<startargument>c:nginx</startargument>
<stopexecutable>c:nginxnginx.exe</stopexecutable>
<stopargument>-p</stopargument>
<stopargument>c:nginx</stopargument>
<stopargument>-s</stopargument>
<stopargument>stop</stopargument>
</service>
nginxservice.exe install . You will now have an nginx service in your Services! (It is set to start automatically on boot; if you want to start your server, you must manually start the service ( net start nginx ).)

You can find the latest version of the Windows Service Wrapper also via this Maven Repository: http://repo.jenkins-ci.org
Example:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.winsw</groupId>
<artifactId>winsw</artifactId>
<version>2.1.2</version>
<classifier>bin</classifier>

Download NSSM form http://nssm.cc/download . "Run %NSSM_HOME%nssm.exe install “Nginx”"
Select the Nginx executable in the NSSM dialog, then OK. Go to Services and start the new created service "Nginx", done.
SC.EXE will only work for executables that already support the Windows Services API and can respond properly to start and stop requests from the Services Control Manager (SCM). Other regular applications, not specifically written as a service, will simply fail to start (usually with error 1053)...
For those exe's, you need a "service wrapper" -- a small utility that can accept the start/stop commands from the SCM and run/terminate your application accordingly. Microsoft provides Srvany (which is free yet very basic), but there are several other free and commercial alternatives.
BTW, you should check out this guide showing how to run Nginix as a service, especially step 7 which discusses how to stop Nginix properly. Not every wrapper will support that functionality (Srvany doesn't)...
