Service stopped unexpectedly but child node process doesn't

[f-w]

Once about every 2 months my node windows service crashes unexpectedly, usually at night so it's unlikely to be caused by load. When the service stopped, the child node process continues to run so the web service is not down.
This issue is related to #12 except that service crashing unexpectedly is my main concern. Surviving child node process is also nagging because if child process is not killed before service is restarted there is port conflict.

Obviously this one is pretty tricky to troubleshoot since I can't recreate a 2 month running process. If folks could post logs (or patterns), that might help.

@coreybutler I am able to reproduce this issue. Steps to reproduce this issue as below:

1- Install and start the service.
2- Kill the Windows Service Wrapper process from Task Manager (Don't kill the process tree)
3- Child process is still there which creates issue when we try to start the windows service again.

I have used node version 12.8.0

I am facing the same issue as described by @hassanahmad32 on Node.js v14.17.6 and could replicate it using his provided steps. Any workarounds for the moment?

Checked process for trigering the error using task manager, also happenes on our system, it seems that this error is caused when service wrapper doesnt exit properly
