Hmmm,
Well, this leads me to MrpServices.java and there is nothing in there about
determining if the service is already running unless possibly attempting to
delegator.removeAll() will throw an exception in some particular case.
I gotta believe the service engine has some call you can make
dispatcher.isRunning("Service"). Looking at the javadocs I see a
"processList" in JobManager with no documentation that looks hopeful. I see
"registerCallback", again with no documentation which would work if I could
guarantee that the machine did not crash.
I guess I'll dig deep into the service manager source and see what I can
come up with.
