How to implement "More than one user Service may run within the same process"

[hagaihe]

Hello,
I've written a Windows service and i need help to implement the meaning
of the sentence which is generated automatically by the IDE

// More than one user Service may run within the same process. To add
// another service to this process, change the following line to
// create a second service object. For example,
//
// ServicesToRun = new System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase[] {new
Service1(), new MySecondUserService()};
//

My target is basically to implement survivability of my project so if
the service will "fall down" another process / user will be able to
continue.

Does someone have any idea ??

if your first service blows up due to an unhandled exception, its going to
take your second "service" with it, because the process is going to go away.
Suggest looking into a more robust alternative for whatever it is you want to
accomplish.

You can start several windows services with different names, if one fails another starts operaing
instaed of "dead" one.

You can also set the Recovery option for a service to have Windows restart
it automatically if it dies.

Please don't push people to start 'shadow' service processes, keep in mind
that services use precious resources not consumed by regular processes.
Better is to look at the option presented by Alan, unfortunately it's not
that easy to achieve from within .NET. Also, services should be as robust as
possible, but <rant>.NET has changed this picture, seems like everyone needs
to write a bunch of services these day's :-). Most of the time they crash or
hang or exhaust precious system resources, but no trouble start another one
when the first fails....</rant>
