Introduction

Shell Service is a Windows Service that can be easily configured to run any powershell script as a service.

Getting Started

1. Copy your powershell script to the /Deploy/Shell Service/SupportedFiles directory

2. Make sure /Deploy/Shell Service/appsettings.json has the desired ServiceName, and WorkerSettings. The WorkerSettings should just be the script name and any of it's arguments.

3. Run the command line as administrator

   a. To install your service, run install.cmd

   b. To uninstall your service, run uninstall.cmd

Build and Deploy

I deploy it locally using the LocalRelease publish profile. That means you can copy and paste the directory Deploy\Shell Service on any machine to have an entirely portable, easily installable windows powershell service.
