I want to see a system wide api in Mono (sonthing like System.linux or

Rudimentary support for this exists in Mono.Unix and Mono.Unix.Native,
in Mono.Posix.dll.
Everything (i.e. services, cronjobs, even kernel resources etc ) on
linux can be handled directly without calling any other api (or system
call).
One problem with this: none of it is standardized. Red Hat will differ
from SuSE will differ from Debian will differ from...
Mono could have a Linux Standards Base compatible API. The 3.1 LSB spec
defines some directories (ie for cronjobs) and it looks like future
specs will use some lsb-specific command utility to provide compatibility.
I honestly don't know much about the LSB, but anyone can read the
current spec here:
