This project demonstrates how a Spring Boot application can be managed as a service.

You need Java 1.8 and a bash-like shell. To build the project, invoke this command at the root of the project

A unix distribution is generated automatically and uses jsvc. It is added for demonstration purpose only as Spring Boot 1.3.x has better support for this

The windows distribution uses winsw.

To install the sample application as a service, extract the distribution somewhere and open a shell with administrative rights in that directory. Then invoke the following command

Once the service has been installed, you can start it the usual way, that is:

The logs are available in the logs directory of the distribution.
