[Mono-list] c# written daemon, System.ServiceProcess, posix signals handling...

[RoBiK]

Hi Fawad,

Thank you for your answer. Even if I use runit, there is still the problem,
that I can't catch a signal inside the managed code. I have found also this
article
(http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2003-March/012826.html),
but this guy has the same problem and no solution. Can you help me and show
me how should the code look like?

Thank you
Robert

Hi Robert,
    I'd suggest running your app under runit (http://smarden.org/runit/).
That'll take care of making sure the app is always running even when killed
abnormally. When you 'down' the service in runit, it sends it a SIGTERM and
maintains an internal flag that the service is supposed to be down
intentionally. There is a thread on signal handlers in the March '03 archive
of mono-list, including an example of a sigterm handler using unmanaged
calls.
