Re: [Mono-dev] Error trying to compile mono on CentOs 5
Supplementary question - I am trying to load a time zone using: TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById(GMT Standard Time) Try to use TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById(GMT) instead. The timezone must exist as a file in /usr/share/zoneinfo see for details: https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/mono-4.0.0-branch/mcs/class/corlib/System/TimeZoneInfo.cs#L451 and https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/mono-4.0.0-branch/mcs/class/corlib/System/TimeZoneInfo.cs#L163 hope that helps, Timotheus ___ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list

What a star you are, Timotheus! Supplementary question - I am trying to load a time zone using: TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById(GMT Standard Time) and I get: Exception of type 'System.TimeZoneNotFoundException' was thrown. at System.TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneByFileName (System.String id, System.String filepath) [0x00018] in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/mono- 4.0.1/mcs/class/corlib/System/TimeZoneInfo.cs:464 at System.TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById (System.String id) [0x0005e] in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/mono-4.0.1/mcs/class/corlib/System/TimeZoneInfo.cs:451 is this something I have not configured properly, or is it not supported?

Re: [Mono-dev] Error trying to compile mono on CentOs 5
Thanks again, Timotheus - I am now using GB time zone on Linux (not GMT, as I want BST in summer) - of course, that doesn't work on Windows, so I have put in conditional code.

Re: [Mono-dev] Mono/Windows Services
Mono has mono-service2 that you can use to wrap a Windows service on *nix to become a daemon that you can issue start and stop commands to like most daemons.

Re: [Mono-dev] Mono/Windows Services
You can use the mono-service tool to start the application through the ServiceBase class, as in Windows. But ServiceBase or not, typically you would enter some sort of mainloop. Most services will _wait_ for something to happen and not wake up until it does. High-frequency timer-based polling should only be used as a last resort - i.e. if there is no practically useful construct that you can wait on. You can do timer-based if you have long sleep times (such as every hour or less), or if the service's purpose is time-based data collection. /Oskar 2015-06-11 21:49 GMT+01:00 Paul McEwan paul.mce...@atlium.com: I have a Windows Service that I converted to Mono.

Re: [Mono-dev] Mono/Windows Services
Turn an exe into a daemon: http://serverfault.com/questions/135859/is-there-a-standard-way-to-make-daemon-in-debian To keep it idle, I'd suggest using Task objects, with a lambda for each task with the work in it. They'll run on the thread pool. Then your main thread should just sleep until a kill message comes in.
