After 2.0 release, Miguel de Icaza reflects on Mono's past and future
10-08-2008 01:00 PM
Few free and open source software projects have attracted such a range of reactions as Mono. On one hand, as an implementation of Microsoft's .Net that's sponsored by Novell, it has been vilified both for the company it keeps and as a possible source of patent claims, should Microsoft choose to get nasty. On the other hand, Mono has been the platform of choice for such major projects as Second Life, which uses it to increase the efficiency of its servers. This week, as the Mono project reached version 2.0, Miguel de Icaza, the project's founder and maintainer, talked with Linux.com about the history of the project, its application and the criticism leveled at it, and where the project goes from here.

mono-service2

Mono(Mono 1.0)															    Mono(Mono 1.0)

NAME

       mono-service, mono-service2 - Mono ServiceProcess host

SYNOPSIS

       mono-service [options] program.exe

DESCRIPTION

       The mono-service is a host to run services built with the ServiceProcess assembly.

       Use mono-service to run services that use the 1.0 assemblies and use mono-service2 to run services that use the 2.0 assemblies.

       Services can be paused by sending the SIGUSR1 signal to the process, and execution can be resumed by sending the SIGUSR2 signal.   The ser-
       vice can be cleanly shutdown by sending the SIGTERM signal to the process.

       Mono programs started with mono-service run with the MONO_DISABLE_SHM variable set.    This means that certain Mono features that depend on
       it are not available to services.

       The following options can be used to control the service:

       -d:DIRECTORY
	      Use this option to specify the working directory for the service.  The default is the current directory.

       -l:LOCKFILE
	      Specifies the file to use for locking, the default is a filename constructed in /tmp based on the name of the program that hosts the
	      service.

       -m:MESSAGE
	      Name to show in the syslog.

       -n:NAME
	      Use this to specify the service to be launched (if the program contains more than one service).	The default is to  run	the  first
	      defined service.

       --debug
	      Use  this  option  to  prevent  mono-service from redirecting stdin and stdout and prevent the program to be sent to the background.
	      Equivalent to --no-daemon

       --no-daemon
	      Use this option to prevent mono-service from redirecting stdin and stdout and prevent the program to  be	sent  to  the  background.
	      Equivalent to --debug.

CONTROL

       You can control the service by sending signals to the process, you can use the following commands:

       Pausing service:
		   kill -USR1 `cat <lock file>`

       Resuming service:
		   kill -USR2 `cat <lock file>`

       Stopping the service:
		   kill `cat <lock file>`

EXAMPLES

       Start the MyService.exe assembly, with a lock in /root/service-lock:

	    mono-service -l:/root/service-lock MyService.exe

DEBUGGING

       Messages produced by the service are logged on syslog.
