qsu

qsu ("kazoo") is a crate for wrapping applications in service subsystems such as Windows Service, systemd or launchd.

The primary objective is to allow service subsystem integration without the need to to get bogged down in platform-specific details. Beyond that its goal is to offer "batteries included" service-related utilities.

Features

• Supports sync and async (using tokio) service applications.
• Includes service registration helpers, which can:
  • generate systemd unit files.
  • generate launchd plist files.
  • register/deregister the services on Windows.
• Includes an optional argument parser, built on clap:
  • Provides a common interface for running, installing and uninstallating services.
  • Allows running a service application either as a foreground process (useful for development) or with proper service subsystem integration (for production).

Limitations

qsu is opinionated, and is specifically designed for some kind of "normal service application".
