BaseX as a Windows Service

[vincentml]

Hello BaseX team,

This issue is about providing another way to run BaseX as an always-on service on Windows operating systems.

I've previously used YAJSW to run BaseX as an always-on service in Windows and contributed to the documentation of this method at https://docs.basex.org/main/YAJSW. More recently however, I've been using a different method that uses Servy to run BaseX as an always-on Service in Windows. Servy has been working well for me, and Servy has some advantages over YAJSW in that it is easier to use and provides monitoring of the service.

I've created a .bat script that makes it very easy to install/uninstall BaseX as a Windows Service using Servy. Here is a copy of the script service.bat in service.zip. If you have any thoughts about how to improve this script please let me know.

Firstly, would this be of interest? Secondly, what would be the best way to share this script and related information? Should I create a pull request to add the .bat script to basex-core/etc, or draft a new documentation page for the Developer Section, or both?

Hi Vincent, thanks in advance, this sounds promising. It may take some days for us to look at it, but rest assured it won’t be forgotten.
