[Mono-list] Deamonize. Running a Mono app. in the background

[Jesse Pasichnyk]

Are the execv, setuid and setgid methods working?

I wrote some stuff using those, and it did the execv fine, but didn't =
seem
to want to change the identity the application was running under.

The exe had permissions 6755.

Is this not possible since the application is run by the mono =
executable?

Thanks,

Jesse

The standard Unix functions are implemented in namespace
Mono.Unix in assembly Mono.Posix, but the fork calls aren't=20
working from managed code.

I have done a C daemon using Embedded Mono to run a
Windows Service implemented in .NET on Linux. I have=20
sent a first proposal to Mono-Devel list some days ago:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.mono.devel/10777

You can take the attached daemon as starting point for=20
your own implementation or help promoting the inclusion=20
of something like that in Mono ;-)
