Hi Peter, Thanks for responding. I'm new to linux and I am using CentOS which I believe is based on Redhat.
The thing that I cannot understand is why the service will not run in a script. Foget about placing the script inside init.d, the service will not run in ANY script. If I run: $mono-service /path/to/my/exe The service runs fine as it should. However, if I create a script such as: #!/bin/sh /opt/mono-1.1.15/bin/mono-service /path/to/my/exe ... it does not run. If I do the same thing with a standard console app, the app starts regardless if I invoke from commandline or through script.
