[Mono-list] Service or daemon with Mono?

[Danny]

I'd like to second that.  I use the same techniques with good results. 
However, *occasionally* I have problems with my remoting listener 
holding open the TCP socket after shutdown (in which I unregister the 
marshalled object(s)).

If you don't mind me asking, do you do anything specific or special to 
clean up your remoting channel?
