Restore service functionality #7

Closed roy-harmon closed 1 year ago

roy-harmon commented 2 years ago

With the move from .NET Framework 4.8 to .NET 5.0, installing as a Windows service isn't as easy as it used to be (since .NET 5.0 is cross-platform). There are new ways of doing this, apparently, but I'm not sure yet how it all works. Topics to explore include:

"sc create"
Background Service
IHostedService

If we can take advantage of the cross-platform nature of .NET 5.0 to implement similar functionality on other platforms, so much the better.

I think I have a fix for this. I'll merge it once I've done more testing.
