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

[Bradley, Peter]

Thanks Nikki.  I was running out of ideas.  (Lee's already said it works
from the command line, I think BTW, but not from a script).

By the way, if you and Lee do get a solution it would be really helpful
to post it somewhere as an example of how to do this in a RH-based
distribution.

I'll try and keep an eye on how things go to see if I can be of some
help in that regard (although I have no special expertise, so I'm
probably not the best person).  But there have been so many questions
about this, that there definitely should be a document somewhere that
explains, in as disty-neutral way as possible, how to do it.

This is not to belittle the work others have already done, by the way -
especially Robert Jordan who was a huge help to me when I was struggling
with this.

I use CentOS too, so maybe I can help.

OK. Step 1 - from the command line, type in exactly what you have in the

script - i.e.

/opt/mono-1.1.15/bin/mono-service /path/to/my/exe

Does it run now?
