How to host node as a service, just like IIS in Windows?

Installing node as a service will help us as below.

• Run in the background
• Restart automatically if it crashes

Steps:

1. Install NSSM (non-sucking service manager). This tool lets you host a normal.exe as a Windows service.
2. Go to command prompt.
3. Execute nssm.exe install node-service c:\nodejs-path\node.exe c:\code\sample\server.js
4. Execute net start  node-service
