[Mono-list] How to start a process? (Crossplatform)

[Ian Norton]

I find the binfmt-misc support to be mainly controlled by distro things, so
usually for me invoking ./program.exe will wind up using the archaic mono
installed in /usr. If I were you I'd stick to running mono apps by calling
"mono program.exe args".

One possibly mad idea if the subprocess was a c# one would be to load and
invoke the main method of the exe in a new appdomain.. mad I know.. :)
