[Mono-list] TCPListener Service application

[Lee Jenkins (DataTrakPOS)]

Hi, I have written a prototype TCPListerner service.  It works fine on my
local XP dev box (isn't that always the case), but not on the linux box.  

I started the service with:

$ Mono-service myservice.exe

Checked with ps and ps -eaf and it says that its running.  So at this point,
I'm not sure if it's the linux box or something in my code that does not run
well in mono.

Is there anything in particular I should try?  I have attached the code that
starts the service below.

Thanks,
