[Mono-dev] Changing the behavior of Process.Create

[Charlie Poole]

Can I assume this only applies to Linux? In the past, when I used Process.Create
from a Mono app on Windows, the secondary process ran under MS .NET.

Consequently, in order to work on both platforms, NUnit actually runs mono
again when it is already running under mono and launches its agent process.
