Re: [Mono-list] Service or daemon with Mono?
Hi Jonas, I found some documentation on remote objects that includes the setup of the server component as a service for windows or linux (including the steps to set it up). This might help you with your question: http://www.peredur.uklinux.net/Remoting.pdf (pages 16 to 19) -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: jos_ [mailto:j...@sonhult.se] Gesendet: Dienstag, 14. Juli 2009 14:45 An: mono-list@lists.ximian.com Betreff: [Mono-list] Service or daemon with Mono? Hello, What is the recommended way to write a service-like software in Mono? My first guess would be to use the normal class ServiceBase existing in Mono (and .NET of course). But there seems to be little information on how this works with Mono, and from what I've read it is not considered stable (?). 1. Is it better to just create a normal app, turn on automatic login and run it at login? 2. Is it possible to create a daemon using Mono? 3. Is there any documentation on how to "install" the "service" if developed in Mono using ServiceBase (or any other method)? In short: I'm looking for a way to build the Linux equivalent for a service using Mono, and install it on a Linux-dist =) Thanks in advance! / Jonas -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Service-or-daemon-with-Mono--tp24478743p24478743.html Sent from the Mono - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list

It's possible that they build using some #if blocks to alter behavior depending on the platform, but note that this is not necessary -- the execution platform can easily be detected at runtime. A more legitimate reason is that there may be some C glue library required on both platforms, and the different binary archives need to package the platform-specific glue.

I should point out that you don't have to "compile to mono" to test, you can just run the Windows-.NET-compiled binaries directly on Mono.

-- Forwarded message -- From: Justin Dearing Date: Tue, Jul 14, 2009 at 5:08 PM Subject: Re: [Mono-list] Game development with mono To: Mark Collins Mark, Mono definitely only has a subset of the .NET Framework implemented. I don't know how much of that has to do with gaming, or what gaming features you need. However, the easiest way to code for both platforms, is to simply constantly test on both platforms. SharpDevelop 2 has support for .NET and mono. It is a bit lacking as an IDE, but it will run visual studio 2005 solutions and projects. Coding with Visual Studio and periodontally compiling to mono on windows will ensure compatability. I believe there are separately maintained mono plugins for sharpdevelop 3.x if you want to compile visual studio 2008 projects to Mono. Another thing in regards to mono on windows as opposed to mono on linux, there are some features of mono that work in windows and not linux. Cominterop does not work on linux. pinvoke does work, but you lack the windows api on linux. I don't know if unity, wine or any of that changes those rules, but even if you compile mono binaries on windows, test them on linux.

Re: [Mono-list] Service or daemon with Mono?
Thanks alot. Indeed it does look pretty vanilla in term of the remoting
usage, but one difference IS the SingleCall. I'll take a closer look
when I can get back to that ticket.

[Mono-list] Game development with mono
I got half way through a programming degree before ANSI/ISO C++, and ten years later have started to pick up some C#. I am looking to do game development using Mono and Unity, but wonder what resources are out there. Can I just stick to regular C#/.NET in Mono and get the cross platform ability I want, later hoping Unity will run on Linux as well, or is there a special subset of C#/.NET I have to program to in order to use Mono? What would be some good books/references that I can use to teach myself? Sample code, tutorials, etc. Mark Collins ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
Re: [Mono-list] Service or daemon with Mono?
Hmmm... hard to say, i did remoting part 4+ years ago :) in .net 1.1 era :)
It sees to be I am not doing anything special, but keep in mind i am using
mode="SingleCall"
Here is more details:
And all remoting types/methods are in one class:
namespace Rmt {
public class RmtBridge : MarshalByRefObject {...}
}
Service has multiple threads and some of them are control threads which i am
using to kill real worker threads if they are hang. Control thread code look
like:
public override void ControlThreadLoop() {
// Configure remoting
bool isInitOk = InitRemoting();
if (IsStop()) return; // exit signaled
if (!isInitOk) {
// Fail to init remoting - log exception and continue
. error EventLog here...
}
while (!IsStop()) {
create worker thread and monitor it health
}
}
// Try to configure remoting, return true on success
private bool InitRemoting() {
for (int j = 0; !IsStop() && j < INIT_ATTEMPT_COUNT; j++) {
try {
RemotingConfiguration.Configure(
System.IO.Path.Combine(
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory,
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName + ".config"
));
return true;// success
}
catch(Exception e) {
. warning EventLog here...
}
// sleep before next attempt
IdleSleep(IDLE_SLEEP_TIME);
}
return false; // not initialized
}
}

I'd like to second that. I use the same techniques with good results.
However, *occasionally* I have problems with my remoting listener

If you don't mind me asking, do you do anything specific or special to

Re: [Mono-list] Service or daemon with Mono?
We don't have any problems with .NET service running under Mono. It's based on ServiceBase, uses EventLog and .NET Remoting without any problems. All you need to do is to create init.d script to start/stop mono-service during startup/shutdown -- amc - Original Message - From: "jos_" To: mono-list@lists.ximian.com Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2009 8:45:07 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [Mono-list] Service or daemon with Mono?

Mono does not provide this documentation because almost every distro has its own more or less similar concept of running "services".

It depends on what kind of .exe that said file is. It should work if it's a managed application. Search for MONO_EVENTLOG_TYPE in mono's man page to find out how to configure the event log output.

Re: [Mono-list] GTK-Sharp: Cannot implicitly convert type `Cairo.Context' to `Cairo.Context'
If it was all working before, I'm unsure why it would just stop working after updating from SVN. The best I can offer is that you should check to see if you changed anything on your system or installed new packages which might result in this conflict. Finally, you should follow the guide on setting up a completely clean prefix so you don't get conflicts like this. It might help. Alan.
