#102543 — Re: Daemon strategy

We’ve recently stopped building Windows services (Python or any other type)
and started using the NSSM service manager.
Takes a normal Windows application and runs it as a service.
The NSSM service manager provides great command-line support for
installing, configuring, and controlling Windows services.
Has greatly reduced our development time and test time since we no longer
need to test both app and service executables.

<http://www.nssm.cc>

Downside is that it is a separate tool to install.
Upside is that it has features such as :
  - run-once at startup.
  - auto-restart failed services
  - setting service dependences (don’t start until another service is up
and running)
  - set processor dependencies
