# Startup Service

Once the system reboots, our fronhand and backend service needs to be restarted. To avoid this issue, we need to create a startup service. 

### Create Startup service (On Windows Machine)

Once the system reboots, our backend service needs to be restarted. To avoid this issue, we need to create a startup service. On a Windows server, we can add a command and associate it with the Windows Task Scheduler.

#### Step to follow for Creating Startup service (Backend Service)

1. Create a folder anywhere on your system; however, we recommend creating a folder named "StartupService" within the same hierarchy where your frontend and backend code is located.

2. Go inside the folder, open Notepad or Notepad++, and write the command to start the service. For example, if your backend code is in the D drive under the "QAautoMATER\_Service" folder, write the following command: (Change the Path according the location)

           D: 

            cd D:\QAautoMATER\_Solution\QAautoMATER\_Service 

             pm2 start server.js
