Presumably as suggested at: http://www.mono-project.com/Guide:Running_Mono_Applications#Registering_.exe_as_non-native_binaries_.28Linux_only.29 Please don't do that; please follow the Application Deployment Guidelines and use a shell script wrapper: http://www.mono-project.com/Guide:Running_Mono_Applications#Shell_Scripts http://www.mono-project.com/Guidelines:Application_Deployment The reason being for increased compatibility across Unix platforms, and because (as you note), it doesn't work "properly": > Running via "binfmts" looks strange: > > myuser> WakeTheBox.exe hel > AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory: /usr/sbin/ Why? I'm not entirely sure, but I would guess that binfmt works by having the kernel execute a "helper" program located in /usr/sbin, and the helper in turn is responsible for executing mono + the assembly, which may screw up mono's normal logic. The fact that it "screws things up" is documented at the above urls; _why_ it screws things up is not. - Jon _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
