[Mono-list] mono-service doesn't start my service - no errors

[jcmag]

Hi, 

I've developped a Service that works on Windows. I'm trying to use it on Linux (Ubuntu 6.10), with the following command:
bash mono-service MyHal.Service.exe

but my service doesn't seem to start. I have no error messages, except:
Jan 20 21:17:47 mylaptop mono: MyHal.Service.exe: Log file already exists: /tmp/MyHal.Service.exe.lock

(when I re-run the command several times)

Here is my main function:

    static class Program
    {
        static void error (string prefix, string format, params object [] args)
        {
            Mono.Unix.Native.Syscall.syslog (Mono.Unix.Native.SyslogLevel.LOG_ERR, String.Format ("{0}: {1}", prefix, String.Format (format, args)));
        }
        
        static void Main()
        {
            error("Main1", "Begin");
            ServiceBase.Run(new ServiceBase[] { new MyHal.Service.Service1() });
            error("Main1", "End");
        }
    }

(in syslog I see only the "Begin" message)

and here is my service:

    public class Service1 : ServiceBase
    {
        private static readonly log4net.ILog _log = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);
        public const string MyServiceName = "MyHal";
        
        static void error (string prefix, string format, params object [] args)
        {
            Mono.Unix.Native.Syscall.syslog (Mono.Unix.Native.SyslogLevel.LOG_ERR, String.Format ("{0}: {1}", prefix, String.Format (format, args)));
        }
    
        static Service1()
        {
            error("Service1", "static constructor!!!");
            Environment.CurrentDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);
        }
        
        public Service1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        
        private void InitializeComponent()
        {
            this.ServiceName = MyServiceName;
        }
        
        protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
        {
            base.Dispose(disposing);
        }
        
        protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(new FileInfo("log4net.config"));
                MyHal.Engine.Core.Instance.Init();

            }
            catch (Exception exc)
            {
                _log.Fatal("Exception : " + exc.Message);
                throw;
            }
        }
        
        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            try
            {
                MyHal.Engine.Core.Instance.Shutdown();
            }
            catch (Exception exc)
            {
                _log.Fatal("Exception : " + exc.Message);
                throw;
            }
        }
    }

(the "static constructor!!!" message doesn't appear in syslog)

I am a Linux beginner so I don't know what to do now.

I've also another question: after the call to mono-service, the service is installed on the machine and will be executed, or do we have to do something for that?

Thanks in advance

JC
