Yep,  your code on my box produces no log file at all when run with
mono-service2.   I added a hack to just run OnStart if there is a
"--no-daemon" option (rather than calling ServiceBase.Run), like -

mono Whitemice.ZideNET.exe --no-daemon

- and the service runs on the console, responds to requests, etc...  But
when run as "mono-service2 Whitemice.ZideNET.exe" absolutely nothing
happens.  For now I'll just run on the console.
