About this tag
NSSM, the Non-Sucking Service Manager, is a lightweight Windows service wrapper that lets you run arbitrary executables, scripts, or commands as Windows services. It is commonly used to keep background tasks alive, logged, and automatically restarted, even though its last widely published stable build dates back to 2014. On WindowsForum.com, users discuss wrapping Python scripts and other tools with NSSM to create resilient automation servers or run applications under the local system account. Topics include handling access permissions for Microsoft Store apps when using NSSM, and comparing NSSM to other service wrappers for reliability and ease of use.
