[Mono-list] Re: Long-running services

[Jörg Rosenkranz]

Hi,

I have attached a little sample service you can use as template for
your own tests.
It only writes a log file for all actions.

It can be compiled using:
mcs -out:TestService.exe -r:System.ServiceProcess.dll
-r:System.Configuration.Install.dll  TestService.cs

If you don't need the Windows install functionality you can safely remove
the ProjectInstaller class and the reference to
System.Configuration.Install.dll.

Run it using;
mono-service TestService.exe

For more parameters see man mono-service

Controlling the service is easy:

Pausing: kill -USR1 `cat /tmp/TestService.exe.lock`
Continueing: kill -USR2 `cat /tmp/TestService.exe.lock`
Ending: kill `cat /tmp/TestService.exe.lock`

Have a look at the log to see any consequences of your actions because
there will be no feedback on the command line :-)
Errors go to syslog.

HTH,
Joerg.
