@Tedd
Thank you ... i didn't see this implementation :)
@Kyle
hey hey keep Cool.
You must not explain how to implement simple things. My question only is if its useful to do that.
If there is no Implementation in mono for this ... It's all clear for me
I´ll take a look at the OpenSim\Tools\OpenSim.GridLaunch and use this or do an forge project.
Thanks @All
Kai

Have a looksie in folder: OpenSim\Tools\OpenSim.GridLaunch
File: GUI\Service\Service.cs
There is a uncomplete service implementation that just needs a few lines
to be completed.
GridLaunch project was added as an optional execution method for easing
execution on Windows/*nix, not sure if it is something I will follow up
as I see other projects like OpenSim.GUI on forge.
The idea was to have GUI modules such as Console, WinForms, Service,
etc. You choose module from config or on command line.
BR,
Tedd

Hi,
thank you for answering so fast ...
@Kyle Hamilton
1. You can also use srvany.exe from Microsoft to turn any .exe into a
service. http://www.iopus.com/guides/srvany.htm has information.
--- If you do that, you are not able to control your service like
OnStart(). The Memoryallocation in "real" Services (ServiceBase) is much
faster than them doing under srvany. There are many other drawbacks
using srvany.exe (Logging, dependencies, rightsmanagement, installation
...)
@ Stefan Andersson
2) To be able to do so, you should implement the services as 'wrappers',
separate applications that _use_ the Main Classes, not change or expand
on them, like for example for the grid service wrapper:
partial class GridServ : ServiceBase
{
private GridServerBase m_gridApplication;
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
// Define working directory (For a service, this is set to
System dir by default...)
Process pc = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
string useDirectory = pc.MainModule.FileName.Substring(0,
pc.MainModule.FileName.LastIndexOf(@"\"));
Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(useDirectory);
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();
m_gridApplication = new GridServerBase();
m_gridApplication.Startup();
}
}
(This snippet taken from Tribal Medias proprietary service wrappers -
feel free to copy+paste.)
--- It is impossible to not change the main applications, cause they
all went into
public void Work()
{
m_console.Notice("Enter help for a list of commands\n");
while (true)
{
m_console.Prompt();
}
}
Holding a Service into a loop or in console.readline make the
OnStart() not responsable for the machine and nothing runs.
--- Is the System.ServiceProcess not implemented in Mono ? If so there
is no problem doing this. In my solution all executables are running as
service and doing well (Win 2003). I try to evaluate how it works in
mono.
--- My implementation is:
Here is the first bad hack
public /*abstract*/ class BaseOpenSimServer :
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase
{
...
public static void RunService(BaseOpenSimServer
pInstance, string[] args)
{
...
}
...
}
In case of Gridserver ...
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
XmlConfigurator.Configure();
GridServerBase.RunService(new GridServerBase(), args);
//GridServerBase app = new GridServerBase();
//app.Startup();
//app.Work();
}
Thats all.
--- You can now start your application with parameter '/Install' or
'/unistall' to create this service or to uninstall it.
--- You chose if it starts as a service and how its name an dependencies
only in app.config of the diffrent projects.
If you dont want to run this as service switch in app.config.
