nvidia-snatcher as a service using node-windows

[derekhansell]

Hey there!

Total node.js n00b here. I'm trying to get nvidia-snatcher installed as a service on a Windows Server. I used the readme example script as a base, and it installed a service. But the service won't stay running.

Script to install service:

var Service = require('node-windows').Service;

// Create a new service object
var svc = new Service({
  name:'nvidia-snatcher',
  description: 'Scrapes websites for Nvidia GPU stock.',
  script: 'C:\git\nvidia-snatcher\src\index.ts',
//  nodeOptions: [
//    '--harmony',
//    '--max_old_space_size=4096'
//  ]
  //, workingDirectory: '...'
  //, allowServiceLogon: true
});

// Listen for the "install" event, which indicates the
// process is available as a service.
svc.on('install',function(){
  svc.start();
});

svc.install();

error log:

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:888
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\git\nvidia-snatcher\git

}

Kinda lost...

The major issue here is Node.js doesn't support TypeScript, so you cannot reference a .ts file directly.
