work. Remember, however, that the path must be accessible to the user\r
running the service.\r
\r
+Note that if you set AppStdout and/or AppStderr, applications which attempt\r
+to read stdin will fail due to a combination of factors including the way I/O\r
+redirection is configured on Windows and how a console application starts in\r
+a service context. NSSM can fake a stdin stream so that applications can\r
+still work when they would otherwise exit when at end of file on stdin. Set\r
+AppStdin to "|" (a single pipe character) to invoke the fake stdin.\r

Each entry in the list should be of the form KEY=VALUE. It is possible to\r
omit the VALUE but the = symbol is mandatory.\r

-srvany only supports AppEnvironment.\r
+Environment variables listed in both AppEnvironment and AppEnvironmentExtra\r
+are subject to normal expansion, so it is possible, for example, to update the\r
+system path by setting "PATH=C:\bin;%PATH%" in AppEnvironmentExtra. Variables\r
+are expanded in the order in which they appear, so if you want to include the\r
+value of one variable in another variable you should declare the dependency\r
+first.\r
+\r
+Because variables defined in AppEnvironment override the existing\r
+environment it is not possible to refer to any variables which were previously\r
+defined.\r
+\r
+For example, the following AppEnvironment block:\r
+\r
+ PATH=C:\Windows\System32;C:\Windows\r
+ PATH=C:\bin;%PATH%\r
+\r
+Would result in a PATH of "C:\bin;C:\Windows\System32;C:\Windows" as expected.\r
+\r
+Whereas the following AppEnvironment block:\r
+\r
+ PATH=C:\bin;%PATH%\r
+\r
+Would result in a path containing only C:\bin and probably cause the\r
+application to fail to start.\r
+\r
+Most people will want to use AppEnvironmentExtra exclusively. srvany only\r
+supports AppEnvironment.\r

Managing services using the GUI\r
\r
nssm start <servicename>\r
\r
+ nssm restart <servicename>\r
+\r
nssm stop <servicename>\r
\r
nssm status <servicename>\r
Thanks to Robert Middleton for suggestion and draft implementation of process\r
affinity support.\r
Thanks to Andrew RedzMax for suggesting an unconditional restart delay.\r
+Thanks to Bryan Senseman for noticing that applications with redirected stdout\r
+and/or stderr which attempt to read from stdin would fail.\r
