Subject: Check for administrator privileges.
X-Git-Tag: v2.10~2
X-Git-Url: http://git.iain.cx/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b99cfc38fcf4fbf5c87e23f93a02d1d6a6d931ca;p=nssm.git

Check for administrator privileges.

If nssm is run without an administrator token it will fail to install or
remove services.  Check for the token and bomb out early rather than
waste the user's time filling in the form only to find the service can't
be managed.
