The most common use case for running a Python script as a service is to ensure an application is always run and starts running when you log in.
For example, if you have a web application that you want to stay running whenever the computer is up. I have used this method to run Flask applications and other utilities. Download nssm and extract nssm. NSSM is a single file nssm. To learn how to set environment variables in Windows, check out my tutorial Set Environment Variables in Windows. When you start your Windows Service at this point in time, it will not generate any log files when it runs.
After the command run, NSSM service editor will appear for enabling log files for your Python 3 application. Since Startup Type for the Windows Service is set to Automatic , our Python 3 Flask application will run automatically when we had started our Windows machine. At this point in time, we will have fulfilled our goal of using NSSM to run a Python 3 application as a Windows Service in its own Python 3 virtual environment.
Clivant a. He owns techcoil. Quick References. Contents of requirements. Hi Everyone I'm facing an issue while running a python script as a windows service can anyone help me?? Hey 97k , I am searching for this but not found anything useful till now.
You came up with the solution,can share the details or the link which you referred. I've solved the problem using Inno setup I created a new exe file using pyinstaller that will take care of parameters -start, stop, remove and used this new exe file with Inno setup. I have a little problem with relative path I'm running w Any idea why that is? Then I have modifed the service type to auto auto - Specifies a service that automatically starts each time the computer is restarted and runs even if no one logs on to the computer.
The service itself did not start and it is in stopped state. However If I manually, start the service, then it is writing to the file. Since it is infinite loop, the service is in running state. Now if I restart the system with the service in running state , the PID of the service is still the same as previous, and the counter value did not reset to 0.
Eg: Before I shutdown, the counter value was lets say , and it was written to file, now after restarting, I have checked the file and the counter value has resumed from and started writing ,, Why did the counter value did not reset to 0 and start from 0, 1, Looks like pid of service is same though. Also, If the shutdown signal is received, how to stop the service.
My bad, start after system restarts or reboots did not work. Any ideas how to fix the issue. As I said previously, I'm sorry I haven't used a windows environment for years I cannot test this code anymore. Skip to content. Sign in Sign up. Instantly share code, notes, and snippets.
