Attached is a simple service template that should make a good test case.
On my computer the only output I get is in my syslog:

Feb 12 12:39:56 schurter3-linux mono: ServiceTemplate.exe: Service
ServiceTemplate started
Feb 12 12:40:36 schurter3-linux mono: ServiceTemplate.exe: Stopping
service ServiceTemplate

Those are automated messages and none of my EventLog.WriteEntry()s seem
to work.  I've tried running my service with mono-service and
mono-service2.

I still can't figure out how to get good debugging information.  Adding
--trace just floods me with output, and when I add filters like
"--trace=-N:System.XML,-N:System.IO" mono just exits immediately.

I'm really stuck...  anyone have any ideas?
