![]() ![]() To create a service, select the script which will be the entry point and select Any configuration your service requires to run should be provided in some sort of configuration file which the script should read when it starts. There is no mechanism I’m aware of for the script to receive and process service control messages, therefore it will be unceremoniously terminated when the service is stopped. Your service implementation script should loop forever doing whatever it does. This runspace is invoked by the service with the script in focus in the editor when you invoke Compile Script into Service from the menu. The Compile Script into Service feature simply generates an executable file which contains code for installing, uninstalling and configuring a service, along with code that implements a Windows Service hosting a PowerShell runspace – pretty much what you would have to do manually in step 1 above. PowerGUI is a free development environment and debugger for PowerShell. The much simpler way, and the method I’ll describe here is to use the PowerGUI “Compile Script into Service” feature.There’s plenty of examples on the ‘net of hosting PowerShell in C# Create a service executable project in Visual Studio, providing all the necessary plumbing and use this to host a PowerShell runspace.So, how do we create our service? There’s two ways Why might you want to do this? It is surprisingly easy to write applications like a simple HTTP server in PowerShell. I have created a PowerShell script to install PowerShell services using NSSM here: With the seeming demise of PowerGUI, we can still create services by using NSSM to host them. ![]()
