What would be the best approach to migrate a .NET Windows Service to Linux using mono? I’ve been trying to avoid executing the application as a scheduled command.
Is it possible to obtain a service/system daemon(in linux) like behavior?

Under Linux, deamons are simple background processes. No special control methods (e.g
start(),stop()) are used as in Windows. Build your service as a simple (console) application, and run it in the background. Use a tool likedaemonizeto run a program as a Unix daemon, and remember to specifymonoas the program to be activated.As noted by others, mono-service is a host to run services built with the
ServiceProcessassembly. Services built for Windows can use this method to run unmodified under Linux. You can control the service by sending signals to the process (see man page).
