type Service interface {
	// Init is called before the program/service is started and after it's
	// determined if the program is running as a Windows Service.
	Init(Environment) error
	// Start is called after Init. This method must be non-blocking.
	Start() error
	// Stop is called in response to os.Interrupt, os.Kill, or when a
	// Windows Service is stopped.
	Stop() error
}

Service interface contains Start and Stop methods which are called when the service is started and stopped. The Init method is called before the service is started, and after it's determined if the program is running as a Windows Service.

The Start method must be non-blocking.

Implement this interface and pass it to Run to start your program.
