Is there any easy way to tell whether the program that is running is a
service or a win app?

I've got a watchdog program that will restart application that have died and
I need know which method to do. I guess I can just spin through the services
first and if I find the service that I'm looking for, I can assume it's a
service. Otherwise, it's an app.

Jeff,
If you have a need for an application that has died, then I would
recommend that you make those applications a service. It seems that you
need them to constantly run, so they should be services to begin with.

That's true. But I have a program that constantly updates the screen and
interacts with the user. That can't be a service can it?

UJ,
No, the functionality can be a service, but you need a separate program
to run to interact with the service, most likely using remoting.
Services should not expose user interfaces.

I think that in this case you can broke in two app: a service with the
funcionality and a normal app that is started (or just called) by the
service as well it is necessary (the trick is the service start the app if
it not and interact with then to resolv the user request).
