There already exists an equivalent for java in sf.net (Java Service Wrapper). It claims to do both services and daemons

I'm always looking for ways to introduce clients to Linux :-) It can't be too hard to abstract the interface, since an NT service at it's basic level will simply implement the template code from the ATL (if you're the sort who cares about their code) and hopefully they will spin a seperate control/worker thread from there. This is the same model I have followed when writing services using C# instead of C++ except C# hides all that nasty template code and wraps it up in a very nice clean interface. Since the main controls to be implemented are: * start * stop * pause (who even uses this) with perhaps some custom controls for the fancy services these maps fairly well onto stuff that Linux already supports. Hmmm, might have to look into this a little later... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQIVAwUBPy+THfr1e7bH1pzBAQLOOA//TgvIbVWWxMUUu4MmARH54wtZvbP3OMex /+WzvVNtyJzYAQSdjH7Q6rPuseYEnOzmRkmf9hmW+s9xq38riet1S5YGgBNAzJMG dtramedJB3Gn5XdgMZqtuBzUjJ0ZxkgH8X483bl/ycoq51ex+8YJXLZT9kfQLmHs kz68K8SjEcqx23Snspjm9KfiXXrUA8/7hmeYj6LbYKqKhalf6N8eFT/U4eFlAnWl R0BD38HKbKTzBMwsLmA44GwIYpkTxvGdvl512Zk2eDwn9RboTRiIQWNo5Jrph5tV ErnimybVKVfr4g1R1UELaMi2E+vCHNyAAxyXdc04RVTWtuBTs6zIT8c+slBtrtps qANAtGBKcRXreqLXbpeaZ82BwZB0v+HpqSxVAhUlsJhoAdUJY0yVPCPyRNGdVPAm ROM4F4fVXlQf0HY8Eohobk0t+5fmejhdwTicDdZzmJQas0WxvTlkHZT6HySLFkUw lRLE/uG02zomfPmKfabHYhQZWeKucq1HHfUVix2QBzJZhuYDpb/RaXY5Rd+1yExv qACtstbIuMLkzHmWNZRHVDZ6t9b/332ER6Z080uGN6ILY+qiIdkaA2DQ5CIlQjSS lqtcg7j5rc0Q7Fb1pDovOWDC+zGhaaJEtIPD1xfFLR01v/ZH/NlfML39/1/4IZRu gPrumXkoYSM= =rMPM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
