A small service wrapper for nginx on Windows

What it does:

• Checks if nginx.exe is in the same directory as the service
• Starts nginx
• Runs GC and suspends itself
• Stop or shutdown Notifications from the service manager resume the wrapper
• Signal -s quit to nginx
• Exit

This also allows nginx to be reloaded by external programs while running

Note: reload signal processes must be started as the same user as the main process

How to use:

1. Extract the wrapper into your nginx directory
2. Register the wrapper as a service
3. [Optionally] Configure the service to not use the Local System Account
