Excellent! We really need windows service wrappers for the various exe's.<BR>
<BR>
A couple of pointers:<BR>
<BR>
1) Since this is (in practice) a windows-only project, you should implement this as a 'forge' project;<BR>
<A href="http://forge.opensimulator.org/gf/">http://forge.opensimulator.org/gf/</A><BR><BR>
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:<BR>
<BR>
partial class GridServ : ServiceBase<BR> {<BR> private GridServerBase m_gridApplication;<BR><BR>
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)<BR> {<BR> // Define working directory (For a service, this is set to System dir by default...)<BR> Process pc = Process.GetCurrentProcess();<BR> string useDirectory = pc.MainModule.FileName.Substring(0, pc.MainModule.FileName.LastIndexOf(@"\"));<BR> Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(useDirectory);<BR>
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();<BR>
m_gridApplication = new GridServerBase();<BR>
m_gridApplication.Startup();<BR> }<BR> }<BR>
<BR>
(This snippet taken from Tribal Medias proprietary service wrappers - feel free to copy+paste.)<BR>
<BR>
3) When you've done the wrappers, the next step is to add a method to communicate with the consoles. One way to go about it is to have the service process redirect the console in and output to a named pipe, and then supply a console app that listens/writes to those pipes.<BR>
