Implement Windows Service

[timotheux]

Will you be willing to implement the ability to run a dart app as Windows Service?

I believe this is an area dart/win32 is made for. Dart already is an excellent console application on Windows.

Being able to run it as a Windows service will allow a lot of programmers port existing or design new programs/tools in the dart language.

Keepup the good work!

Not sure whether we'll run into threading issues, but it's an interesting idea, for sure.

Sample documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/services/the-complete-service-sample

Yes, it's an interesting idea with real world use cases right now and it will go on to have a high adoption rate.

Have a look at this solution from Tuppeny, I think this brings us closer to a global solution:

@timsneath just checked out your named pipe example. Good Job! Once again.

Any progress on the Windows Service front?

Cheers

It's not an area I'm planning to work on right now, but if others are interested I'm very willing to accept contributions.
