WinSW
WinSW is a free, open-source Windows service wrapper licensed under MIT. It hosts any executable as a Windows service, with behavior defined in a required XML configuration file. Command-line controls cover installation, removal, starting, stopping, restarting, status checks, and configuration refreshes. The configuration can direct WinSW to restart a failed process or reboot Windows. It captures standard output and error streams, offering append, reset, ignore, and log-rotation modes. Before launch, it can download resources from URLs with authentication and proxy options. Service settings include service accounts and an SDDL security descriptor; documentation warns that Basic credentials over HTTP are sent in clear text. WinSW 3 runs with .NET Framework 4.6.1 or later, or through supplied native 32-bit and 64-bit .NET 7 executables. Binaries are distributed through GitHub Releases, with other packages and CI builds listed.
