Thanks Joe,

I tried using the raw module but the problem i am facing is that NSSM 
requires admin level privileges to start/stop services. How can i enable 
'Run as admin' level while passing a command in NSSM ? My windows machine 
do not have a pre installed NSSM and thus i cannot create a service with 
raw and then start it with the module later on.
