ArmA 2 service + NSSM

[Binary]

Have anyone succesfully made a service for ArmA 2 using NSSM ?

Installed it today to make service for TS3 and ArmA 2, TS3 went fine, but the ArmA service doesnt work as intended, the process and service is running, but the server simply doesnt show up.

Wasn't aware of this service method... but I use a wrapper class for our dedicated server.

See my thead here:

Allows editing of the servers modline without having to install/uninstall new services etc. Only downside is that this cannot handle A2 betas, but if you're not running them then this will work well for you. Also has exit code functionality etc if you're plugging it into a custom app.

Pardon, I have no experience with this NSSM app.

I have used firedaemon to manage services, and it worked very well for running an Arma2 server. It was configured to restart Arma2 upon crash, and it did so without the annoying error box that requires a click. A logged in admin could type #shutdown and the server would restart w/o issue.

There we go - bought a copy of FireDaemon and the service runs perfect.
Thanks for the advice guys !

If only it was FOSS..
