Solr Windows Service / Running solr in the background

[Reej M <re...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

For now we are running solr cloud starting it from the command prompt as below from the 2 servers for starting the 2 nodes

Server 1 & Server 2
bin\solr start -cloud -p 3883 -s “server\solr\cloud\node\solr”
bin\solr start -cloud -p 9883 -s “server\solr\cloud\node\solr”

But if we close the command prompt server will obviously go down, is there any way we can have this running in the background.

We tried using shell script, but we can run it as a standalone service, but is not working when we pass the commands to start as a cloud service.
We followed  http://lets-share.senktas.net/2017/11/solr-as-a-service.html <http://lets-share.senktas.net/2017/11/solr-as-a-service.html> for running as windows service.

Any one has tried any options for starting solr cloud as windows service, do share your thoughts.

Thanks
Reej

I've seen clients use NSSM before for running Solr as a service on Windows.

This is absolutely ancient but maybe there is at least a nugget of
usefulness in it:
