Thanks for the help! Wouldn't this be a console app, rather than a Windows Service? In this case, how can I guarantee that I will be able to restart node server if it crashes?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm quite new to this, so let me know if you need any clarifying!

Thanks for the reply! What if we just want to start running the node server, instead of opening a web browser?

Member 15818964 7-Nov-22 8:57am View

Yup! Thanks for clarifying! That's exactly what I meant

Edit: I think what I want to do is, on Windows Service start, open up a browser for a specific local host and display my Node JS app. If the app crashes (server stops, for example, 127.0.0.1/8080 no longer listening), then the service will start the server again, and open up the browser.

Sorry if it was / or still is confusing!

Hmm, I guess the specification is that if the server ever breaks, the windows service will see that, and start the server again. I don't think I was clear enough on it. Let me know!!

Yup, it's a bat file with npm run dev as the only line of code

I can't seem to run the batch file that invokes the cmd line npm run dev. I tried System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"C:/project/client/runclient.bat"); and other solutions (I added above)

But nothing shows up (I know that windows service wouldn't allow access to desktop) but even when I try to get to localhost:8080 it would fail, so I assume that the server wasn't started
