Re: [Mono-dev] Mono/Windows Services
From: mono-devel-list-boun...@lists.ximian.com [mailto:mono-devel-list- boun...@lists.ximian.com] On Behalf Of Paul McEwan Thanks, the mono-service tool is working well so far Glad it's working for you. I never had any luck with mono-service and mono-service2. What we did, instead, was to create a console application, and let upstart or systemd manage it. Easy peasy. ___ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list

You can use the mono-service tool to start the application through the ServiceBase class, as in Windows. But ServiceBase or not, typically you would enter some sort of mainloop.

Re: [Mono-dev] Mono/Windows Services
Turn an exe into a daemon: http://serverfault.com/questions/135859/is-there-a-standard-way-to-make-daemon-in-debian To keep it idle, I'd suggest using Task objects, with a lambda for each task with the work in it. They'll run on the thread pool. Then your main thread should just sleep until a kill message comes in.
