Unturned: Running a Console Application with arguments as a Windows Service

Unturned requires you to run a console application as a server.
If you want to start this automatically when a Windows Server restarts without any GUI interaction then it is necessary to run it as a Windows Service.

I tried a couple of tools and found that nssm.exe worked best. It allows you to specify a Console.exe and include startup parameters.
Other tools such as RunAsService could not handle the fact that the service did not respond in a timely fashion to the Service Control Manager.
