I have a service which has no U/I, that I use to ensure a certain tray
application is running.
I would like for the service which runs under "Local System", to create the
process as a normal app for the user currently logged in....
Is there a way to do it.... or is there a way for a winforms app launched by
a user to communicate with a service??
How would it get a hold on the service that was running before it was and
interact with it?
Thanks,
Shane

Yes you can communicate with a service using .NET Remoting. And you can get
the currently logged in user from your app by using this:
WindowsIdentity .GetCurrent.Nam e.ToString()
I'm not sure about getting the currently logged in user from a service.

Ok. I am fairly ignorant of .NET Remoting. Do you have any samples or links
to samples of doing this?
I will also search the net for this.
thanks again,

Hi ,
Doubt may be bit trivial , but i wanted to know , what are the exact

Essentially , i want the key advantages of implementing process daemons

The application I am currently working on contains a custom windows service.
On my machine, when I logon with a domain user (non-admin) account, the user
is unable to control (start and stop) the service (an access denied message
is displayed). On another machine, the same user is able to control this
service. This leads me to believe that this is being caused by one or more
permission settings (or lack of).

I am writing a service that monitors when a particular app is started.
Works, but I need to get the user who is currently logged in, and of course
Environment.UserName returns the service logon (NT_AUTHORITY\SYSTEM).
I understand that when the service starts, no user may be logged in, but
that's ok, as the app I am monitoring can only be run by a logged in user.
Do I need to use WMI to get the user context of Explorer.exe or is there a...
