Service Manager for Microsoft Windows
Install and Run Any Application Program As A Windows Service!
FireDaemon Service Manager allows you to schedule, configure, install and run your application program executable or script as a Windows Service. Setup your service quickly and simply via the GUI or command line. Import and export your service configurations to/from XML for fast setup on other computers. FireDaemon also allows you to edit and manage the properties of any built-in Windows service.
FireDaemon Pro will run native 32-bit or 64-bit applications (EXE or DLL), shortcuts or scripting / interpreted languages (eg. Java, .NET, Perl, Batch (BAT/CMD), Python, Ruby, TCL/TK, PHP) as a Windows service!
