I know that PBOSL has the NT Service utilities, but Linux seems to be left out.

Has anyone created a Linux Service with the start, stop and restart commands?

Or can anyone point me in the right direction where I should be looking?

You mean controlling a PB program through an init-script?

Hmmm very interesting - this may be what I'm after - I was bashing my head against the C fork() process before I gave up last night!

Thanks!

I would suggest creating a bash-script and use "start-stop-daemon" there for pushing the binary in the background (so you can even choose easy a user/group that should run it afterwards).
