[Mono-list] SPAM-LOW: Getting a service to start automatically

[Lee]

Hi all, 

Sorry to beat a dead horse to death, but I cannot get my service to start at
system startup.  I've tried the script that I mentioned below to no avail.

I have for 3 days now to get my service to run automatically at start up.
The problem is that calling mono-service from a script will not work.

To test, I wrote a small console app that outputs a simple line then exits.

I then wrote a simple script like this:

=============================
#!/bin/sh

/etc/testMono.exe
=============================

And then ran:

$service starttest

And the app ran correctly.

Yet doing the same thing or even using the script detailed here:
http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-list/2005-November/029295.html

and it will just not work.  No errors that I can see and no service either,
LOL.

I even tried creating a cron job in crontab using the keyword "@reboot" and
that will work either.  

Having the app start at os start up is crucial and if I can't get it to
work, I will have to scrap all the work that I have done and use something
else other than mono/C#, which I do not want to do, LOL.

Thanks again,

Lee
