openHAB as a Windows Service

[James Vincent]

I've openHAB configured as a windows service... It starts fine, but if I need/want to restart the service, it fails, without much in the way of a reason... I expect I'm in the minority here when running as a service, so not expecting much in the way of a solution to this, but just wondered if anyone else had seen this?

Windows could not stop the OpenHab Service service on Local Computer.

Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

I'm using nssm to install the service (as well as mqttwarn) and I'm able to start/stop/restart it fine.

Well, that was easy. Thanks!!

C:\Program Files (x86)\NSSM\win32>nssm install OpenHAB "C:\openHAB\start.bat"

Service "OpenHAB" installed successfully!
