Windows Service

On windows mongod.exe has native support for installing and running as a windows service.

Service Related Commands

The three service related commands are:

mongod --install
mongod --service
mongod --remove

The --install and --remove options install and remove the mongo daemon as a windows service respectively. The --service option starts the service.

Whatever other services you pass to mongod.exe on the command line alongside --install are the arguments that the service is configured to execute mongod.exe with. Take for example the following command line:

mongod --bind_ip 127.0.0.1 --logpath d:\mongo\logs --logappend --dbpath d:\mongo\data --directoryperdb --install

Will cause a service to be created called Mongo that will execute the following command:

mongod --bind_ip 127.0.0.1 --logpath d:\mongo\logs --logappend --dbpath d:\mongo\data --directoryperdb
