Self Hosted Agent as Service

• Open PowerShell as an administrator.

• Navigate to the directory where your self-hosted agent is located. You mentioned that you go to the agent folder and run ./run.cmd, so navigate to that directory using the cd command.

• Once you are in the agent directory, you can install the agent as a Windows service using the following command:

    powershell
  

•   .\config.cmd service install
  

• This command will install your self-hosted agent as a Windows service, and it will start automatically when the computer is restarted.

• To verify the service installation and ensure it's set to start automatically, you can use the following command to configure the service:

    powershell
  

•   sc config "YourAgentServiceName" start=auto
  

  Replace "YourAgentServiceName" with the actual name of your agent service, which is typically the default name unless you specified a different name during the agent setup. This command sets the service to start automatically.

• You can now start the service manually for the current session using the sc command:

    powershell
  

1.  sc start "YourAgentServiceName"
   

   Again, replace "YourAgentServiceName" with the actual name of your agent service.

Now, your self-hosted agent should be set up as a Windows service and will automatically start whenever the computer is restarted. Make sure to replace "YourAgentServiceName" with the actual name of your agent service, which you can verify in the Windows Services tool.
