[Mono-list] Re: mono-service

[Robert Jordan]

Hi Peter,

The service doesn't start because of the RemoteSumsObject.dll
assembly. The remoting infrastructure loads this assembly
via reflection, which doesn't appear to work. Probably a
current directory issue ... However, the attached updated
monoservice script deals with that.
