don't have an opinion yet, but let's list some arguments:
SysV initscripts (aka. /etc/init.d):
+ most natural for many _Linux_ distri
+ simple implementation:
* mainly an exercise in calling "chkconfig"
* only one script (and symlinks on it) would be needed
since "$0" could provide enough information to figure out
which service to start
- far too much Unices and Linux distri sill refuse to use SysV
initscripts (for ... reasons)
- don't know how to map Unix runlevels into the NT service API.
- SysV doesn't offer automatic dependency resolution
- not registry to store service configuration
NT-Service daemon:
+ can as compatible as needed
+ would also work for BSD-like Unices
- more work to do [1]
- could offense some evanglists [2]
1) Hmm... Didn't you mention to have a company in you back?
2) Well, the entire Mono project is offensive for those evanglists -
so what. Let's prepare for a long walk. ;-)
Ciao,
Mathias
