Description
Hi,
I was trying to modify the logs path from the default daemon folder to a custom folder using the logpath property as follows:
// Create a new service object
var svc = new Service({
name:'Hello World',
description: 'The nodejs.org example web server.',
script: 'C:\\path\\to\\helloworld.js',
logpath:'myCustomPath\helloworldLogs.log',
nodeOptions: [
'--harmony',
'--max_old_space_size=4096'
]
//, workingDirectory: '...'
//, allowServiceLogon: true
});
but it did not work. Could you please help

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Service configuration shown in the issue and trace how the logpath property is handled for Windows services. Confirm the expected custom path behavior and verify that logs are written to the configured file rather than the default daemon folder.
