Running a JRuby service on Windows (2013 edition)?

Hello!

I’m curious to know what other people are using to start and monitor
worker-types services (eg: Resque) on Windows these days.

Three years ago I picked FireDaemon for that purpose, which worked
mostly
well apart a few glitches I was never able to really solve.

Now my client is going to scale up and I’m wondering it there’s a free
alternative somewhere to make scaling up easier.

Any idea is most welcome!

thanks,

Thibaut
