forever start app.js on windows opens a node command window

Question

I installed forever and forever-win globally using npm and started my app.js using 'forever start app.js' and this works but it opens a 'nodejs window' which I cannot close.

Is there a way in windows to start my application from commandline using forever without this nodejs window appearing?

have you tried looking at using Windows services for this or the start command? — ali haider
