[Mono-list] Re: Executing mono program: was evangelizing mono

AFAIK, you can use whatever filename you want for the executable. It does not 
have to end in .exe (at last with Mono).

What's more, the Linux kernel called binfmt-misc, which allows running 
programs under Mono as though they were native binary executables.

Here's a link to a script that does that: http://www.atoker.com/mono/mono.init

Depending on your Linux configuration, you might need to "modprobe 
binfmt_misc", and you might need to change the path to mono 
from /usr/bin/mono. Finally, mcs seems to set the executable bit on output 
files, but other C# compilers (e.g. csc, cscc) do not.
