Package Exports

strong-service-install

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (strong-service-install) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

strong-service-install

Create/install system service for a given app.

Currently only supports Upstart (strong-service-upstart) and systemd (strong-service-systemd).

Installation

npm install strong-service-install

var installer = require('strong-service-install');

var opts = {
  name: 'my-app',
  author: require('package.json').author,
  user: process.env.USER,
  command: 'my-app --with args --that work',
  cwd: process.env.HOME,
};

installer(opts, function(err, result) {
  if (err) {
    console.error('Failed to install "my-app" service:', err.message);
    process.exit(1);
  } else {
    console.log('Successfully installed "my-app" service:', result);
    process.exit(0);
