[Mono-devel-list] xsp webservice initialization on startup

[Ulrich Staudinger]

Hi,

i'll propably do a small workaround: invoking the service through a shell
script: 

---
ps xww | grep "xsp" | cut -c1-5 | xargs kill 2>/dev/null
echo "Server processes killed. Settling. "
sleep 1
xsp --nonstop &
sleep 5
wget http://localhost:8080/ServerGate.asmx -O wget.tmp
echo "Cleaning."
rm wget.tmp
---

Does a simple call to my service, where my service will initialize. Not very
nice, but for now sufficient.
