Run Azure self hosted agent as service

Muhammad Hassan

  1. Open a Command Prompt as an administrator.

  2. Run the following sc create command to create the service:

sc create my-agent binPath= "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c C:\agent\run.cmd"
  1. If you want to configure the service to start automatically with Windows, you can run the following sc config command:
sc config my-agent start= auto
  1. Start the service using the sc start command:
sc start my-agent

Ensure that you're running these commands directly within the Command Prompt and not within a PowerShell session to avoid any issues with command interpretation.

If you continue to encounter any issues, please provide more details, and I'll be happy to assist further.

DevOps Journey with M Hassan

174 posts

I am writing these blogs because I recently completed a comprehensive DevOps course where I gained in-depth knowledge of the topics mentioned. As I progressed through the course, I realized the importance of having a concise and accessible resource to revise and reinforce my understanding of each topic. Therefore, I decided to create cheat sheets in the form of blog posts. These cheat sheets will not only serve as a handy reference for myself but also benefit others who are also interested in mastering DevOps concepts. By documenting each topic and providing concise explanations, I aim to create a valuable resource that simplifies complex concepts and facilitates hands-on practice. This way, I can solidify my own understanding while helping others on their DevOps journey.
