Running as a service might be overkill for this project..

Hi, i use os-service and sudo-prompt to elevated , it is service wrapper for win and linux, i modified nodePath by execute my .exe, example:

export async function install(_programArgs = []) { try { const programArgs = _programArgs; if (_programArgs.length === 0) { if ('cluster' in argvs) programArgs.push(--cluster ${Number(argvs.cluster)}); if ('ssl' in argvs) programArgs.push(--ssl ${Number(argvs.cluster)}`); }

const root = await isElevated();
if (!root) {
  logger.warn('Se requieren permisos de administrador para la instalación');
  try {
    console.log(await sudo(`${cmd} install ${programArgs.join(' ')}`));
    return;
  } catch (error) {
    logger.error(error);
  } finally {
    process.exit(0);
  }
}
programArgs.push('--service');
const options = {
  displayName: 'Virtual Control Software',
  programPath: !!process.pkg ? 'run' : undefined,
  programArgs,
  nodePath: `${process.execPath}`.replace(/(\\)/gi, `\\`),
};

argvs.username &&
  Object.assign(options, {
    username: argvs.username,
    password: argvs.password,
  });

logger.info(`${argvs.serviceName}:`);
console.log(options);
service.add(argvs.serviceName, options, error => {
  if (error) logger.error(error.toString());
  else logger.info('Servicio instalado exitosamente');
  process.exit(0);
});

} catch (error) { logger.error(error); } } `
