Launching gulp task as a service ? #242

Closed orty closed 4 years ago

Hi,

I am looking for a way to use this library to run a specific gulp task as a Windows service. I already created multiple plain nodejs services but I cannot find a way to execute gulp instead.

Thank you

This would be a gulp issue if you're using the gulp API. If you're trying to use it as a CLI utility, then you need to install it and reference it (likely with a child_process.exec) using a relative path to the node module. See the comment on #244, which is trying to do the same thing with grunt.
