What it does

Shawl runs any command as a Windows service, allowing for easy management and monitoring of background processes

When to use it
  • •You need to keep a web scraper or data ingestion script running continuously on a Windows server
  • •Your startup relies on a custom Rust or executable application that needs to run in the background
  • •You want to integrate a third-party command-line tool into your Windows-based workflow or automation
Ready-to-paste prompt
shawl install --config shawl.toml --name my_custom_service --command 'C:\\\path\\\to\\\my_script.exe'
Heads up: The system user running the Shawl service needs to have the necessary permissions and access rights to execute the specified command
