Folks
To clarify my initial problem statement:
If I recompile and then issue a "pbs" and then invoke the service it
continues to execute an earlier instance of the service -- NOT the
freshly compiled instance….
This is easy to prove
A set of followup questions on STAND-ALONE services
1) How do I programmatically 'check' the service in System Preferences/
Keyboard/Services?
I offer the user the option of installing a service. If they elect to
install it seems reasonable that they would want the service engaged.
Is the only option to open the System Preferences at the pane?
I offer the new shiny; the user says yeah let's use the new groovy
stuff;
An then I have to say "sorry I can't figure that out for you -- here's
a window here's a whole bunch of scary looking text - give it your
best shot…
(seems pretty lame to me)
2) Since I offer the option to install, I offer the option to uninstall.
Is it safe to do this? The .service bundle is marked as open by the
system.
Is it sufficient to do: if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager]
removeFileAtPath:myServicePath handler:self]) NSUpdateDynamicServices();
Thanks for your time and consideration!

That's good information but I don't see how it helps with a stand-
alone service - how do I (or user) launch the .service bundle?

I have convinced myself that the only way to get Snow Leopard to
recognize the newer version of the service is to log out and back
in.
This is tedious. Is there something I'm missing?
As I recall, each app builds its services menu when it launches.
Any app launched after you run pbs should show a correctly updated
services menu.
