Startup services are not part of mono-service. You must provide your own startup scripts. Search the list for samples, as this topic has been already discussed a couple of times. I realize the question is vague, so if anyone can provide a few links, or even key-words to google, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance. PROJECT DETAILS: I'm running a message-receiver on linux, which accepts an ant project and invokes it. With regards to the transport, I considered running an xsp/xsp web service. But some of the processes I'm running are massive, consume loads of cpu/memory and can take hours to run. I don't want to invoke them within a web-application, though if anyone disagrees with this concern I'll gladly stand corrected. Its the sort of thing that WCF is intended to handle, but that's not an option right now. At this point mono-service seems like the best option, but I'm not sure. I'd host those jobs inside their own XSP process (to decouple them from the web site [if any]) and access them via Web Services. Another approach is using a service + remoting for IPC.

Hi Nate, I have been trawling the list archives and the mono site on the recommended approach for writing / deploying a windows service to target linux but haven't been able to find a good reference. The good reference depends pretty much on the Linux distribution you are targetting. Most documentation and links in the list archive are about Novell's SuSE Linux; I managed to get it working on Fedora Core (and Solaris) based on that, using documentation for native daemons/services. What is the current recommended approach for developing and deploying services with mono on linux? Basically I am looking to port a windows service so that it runs via /etc/init.d/natesnuclearservice start | stop | restart etc. Usually this involves having a distribution-specific shell script that spawns mono-service (or mono-service2 for .NET 2.0) and interacts with it via PID and signals. During initial development getting your service to work can be a little tricky as exceptions or Mono crashes are not logged. You might need to figure out how to manually call Mono with the managed mono-service class to see its output on the console. As for deployment, that depends on the system as well - so far I've only worked with Solaris packages but it should also be possible through RPMs or Debian packages just like installing native daemons.

Re: [Mono-list] mono service/SCM on linux how to
There is a service wrapper for the ServiceProcess class. Since all init.d the implements (or start-stop-pause daemons) have different flavors and variations in each distro, you will have to write the wrapper for your init.d yourself. You can find the source in the mcs source under mcs/tools/mono-service/ and you should have a program installed script installed with mono called 'mono-service'. You can also read the man page on it as well. The way it works is you write an sh script (or whatever you start/stop daemon uses) and have it invoke that app using these parameters: mono-service [-d:DIRECTORY] [-l:LOCKFILE] [-n:NAME] [-m:LOGNAME] servicename.exe The way it works is if you want to Stop the service, you pass in a SIGTERM kill command, if you want pause you kill with SIGUSR1, and to resume you call SIGUSR2. An example would be to start the service run: $ mono-service -l:/var/run/my-service-lock MyService.exe then to pause: $ kill -USR1 ‘cat /var/run/my-service-lock‘ to resume: $ kill -USR2 ‘cat /var/run/my-service-lock‘ and then to kill say: $ kill ‘cat /var/run/my-service-lock‘ Zac Bowling http://www.zacbowling.com/ On Mon, 2006-05-01 at 14:51 -0400, Nate Chadwick wrote: Hi, I have been trawling the list archives and the mono site on the recommended approach for writing / deploying a windows service to target linux but haven't been able to find a good reference.

Re: [Mono-list] mono service/SCM on linux how to
Thanks, I was worried about the debugging thing. The best thing I can think of is implementing fairly heavy log4net style logging. This leads me to another question on the conf files for the service. I know typically linux service oriented apps place configuration files into /etc/. With .NET apps defaulting to appname.dll.config in the same dir as the executable, is the standard approach to symlink the config file to a proper location in /etc/?

RE: [Mono-list] mono-service
Hi Peter and Joerg,
I've been digging around forthe whole weekin order to make the mono-service work, the attached TestService code saved me a lot of time. Very appreciate. I compiled and ran it on my machine (Suse 10 desktop), it's working fine on the command line. Here are my observations and questions:
1. Youwere creating 2 services in the MainClass, but only TestService1 called the OnStart(), although both services were disposed at the end.
2. The whole structure of your TestService is different from a Windows service created on Visual Studio.NET. On VS.NET, the Main() is included within the Service class, which inherits the ServiceBase. I was porting a Windows project to Linux sotheWindows structure was used, and obviously it didn't work on Linux. This is not documented anywhere so fordevelopers trying to make a mono service to work, it really gives us a hard time.
3. The Test Service works fine on thecommand line, but the whole point is to run it at system startup, so I created an init script following the guide given by Novell (http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/15380.html). However, the startproc command throws me an error: "cannot execute binary file.", but run it from a command line is fine (startproc /usr/bin/mono-service /path/to/TestService.exe). So I am stuck again when trying to run a mono service at startup, hope you could help me out.
4. How can I join the mono-list so my emails won't get bounced back?
5. I really want to write something about porting a mono service after I get my current project done. The material about this area is really rare. Where would be the best place to post, say an article with sample source code?

Hi all,
?lt;/div
I suppose you are missing the ServiceBase.Run call in your Main method:
?lt;/div
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase[] servicesToRun; servicesToRun = new System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase[] { new TestService("TestService1")}; System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.Run(servicesToRun);
?lt;/div
This method then calls your OnStart function.
I have attached a sample service I made some time ago as bug test case. Maybe this is helpfull for you.
?lt;/div
Another idea: mono-service logs errors into syslog. Did you look into /var/log/messages?

Hi,
?lt;/span
I am trying to port a windows service project to Linux (SuSE 10 Desktop). The project compiles fine and I have an EXE. I then add mono-service myservice.exe into my startup script, however, the service is not started. I got an error saying "Exec format error". Could someone help me on this?
?lt;/span
I also complied a simplest service and tried to run it on Linux using mono-service, I saw the Main() was called but the OnStart() function is not. Could someone guide me how to make a service on Linux just like a daemon?
?lt;/span
Thanks,
?lt;/span

Windows insists that the value of the mode attribute in customErrors is "Off" with a capital "O". Robert did something to make Mono case insensitive - but it's likely that's not in my installation yet. Anyway, I changed the value to "off" and everything worked beautifully. My sincere apologies for not doing the obvious thing and looking in /var/log/messages before now. Put it down to my advancing years. As we say over here, "Henaint ni ddaw ei hun" (Old age doesn't come on its own). Now, would anyone please be good enough to explain to me how I can get this to start up when I boot the machine so that the daemon will run without the need for anyone to log in? Or point me at the documentation where I can work it out for myself, of course. Many thanks.

RE: [Mono-list] mono-service
Title: Nachricht
Hi
all,
I
suppose you are missing the ServiceBase.Run call in your Main
method:
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase[]
servicesToRun;servicesToRun = new System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase[]
{ new
TestService("TestService1")};System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.Run(servicesToRun);
This
method then calls your OnStart function.
I have
attached a sample service I made some time ago as bug test case. Maybe this is
helpfull for you.
Another idea: mono-service logs errors into syslog. Did
you look into /var/log/messages?
Joerg.

RE: [Mono-list] mono-service
Title: Nachricht Hello Wilson, 1. Youwere creating 2 services in the MainClass, but only TestService1 called the OnStart(), although both services were disposed at the end. Two services can live together in one EXE. Mono-service can start only one at a time (select using -n parameter, default is first), on windows you are able to start both using the service controller. The behaviour should be equivalent to .NET. In most cases there will be only one service in one EXE. 2. The whole structure of your TestService is different from a Windows service created on Visual Studio.NET. On VS.NET, the Main() is included within the Service class, which inherits the ServiceBase. I was porting a Windows project to Linux sotheWindows structure was used, and obviously it didn't work on Linux. This is not documented anywhere so fordevelopers trying to make a mono service to work, it really gives us a hard time. My test service was created initially on Windows and it runs on Windows too. I don't know what you are doing differently.What do your service body look like? I'm using VS 2003/.NET 1.1. 3. The Test Service works fine on thecommand line, but the whole point is to run it at system startup, so I created an init script following the guide given by Novell (http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/15380.html). However, the startproc command throws me an error: "cannot execute binary file.", but run it from a command line is fine (startproc /usr/bin/mono-service /path/to/TestService.exe). So I am stuck again when trying to run a mono service at startup, hope you could help me out. IIRC startproc is for running exes only. Mono-service is a wrapper shell script.Try using startproc /usr/bin/mono /usr/bin/mono-service.exe /path/to/TestService.exe. 4. How can I join the mono-list so my emails won't get bounced back? ?? 5. I really want to write something about porting a mono service after I get my current project done. The material about this area is really rare. Where would be the best place to post, say an article with sample source code? The best place would be the Wiki on http://www.mono-project.com/but I don't know how accounts are given to new users.
