Thanks Joe, I tried using the raw module but the problem i am facing is that NSSM requires admin level privileges to start/stop services. How can i enable 'Run as admin' level while passing a command in NSSM ? My windows machine do not have a pre installed NSSM and thus i cannot create a service with raw and then start it with the module later on.
