Usage
In addition to supporting all the command line arguments of Nuitka, Nuitka-winsvc also provides 7 additional arguments for compiling the Windows services:
--windows-serviceEnable Windows service mode, works only when compiling for Windows and onefile mode enabled.--windows-service-nameName of the Windows service. If not provided, the target program name will be used as the service name.--windows-service-display-nameDisplay name of the Windows service. If not provided, the product name will be attempted to use.--windows-service-descriptionDescription of the Windows service. If not provided, the file description will be attempted to use.--windows-service-cmdlineAdditional command line arguments that will be passed to the service, such as--config config.json --output output.log.--windows-service-installWindows service installation command-line argument. Default value isinstall.--windows-service-uninstallWindows service uninstallation command-line argument. Default value isuninstall.
Use the following command to build a Windows service:
python -m nuitka --onefile --output-dir=build --windows-service --windows-service-name=myservice --windows-service-display-name="My Service" --windows-service-description="This is the description of my service" --windows-service-cmdline="-c config.yml -o output.log" --windows-service-install=install --windows-service-uninstall=uninstall main.py
When the python program is compiled successfully, you can use the following command to install the service:
.\main.exe install
Also you can use the following command to uninstall the service:
.\main.exe uninstall
Note: Administrator privileges is required when installing and uninstalling the Windows services. You should run the above commands as administrator.
The compiled EXE executable file can be run both as a Windows service and as a regular Windows program. However, it is important to note that the Windows service installation and uninstallation command-line arguments which specified by --windows-service-install and --windows-service-uninstall of Nuitka-winsvc compilation arguments will override the original behavior of the program. Therefore, the compiled Python program should avoid using the same command line arguments.
