An attempt at creating a modular Windows service manager.

• Contains a single dll that transforms a .NET console application into a Service App.
• Service Apps can be run standalone, as scheduled tasks or in a Service App Container.
• Service App Containers manage the lifetime and scheduling of Service Apps
• Service App Containers are controlled by a Service App Container Server

• Build the entire solution
• Plug the SACS.Implemenation.dll into your console application and inherit from ServiceAppBase.
• Sign the assemblies if the dll will be us.
• For the server, create a SACS database and run the database creation scripts.
• The server is a Windows service called SACS Agent. Install the service to enable service apps to be loaded into a container.
• The manage service apps, load the Windows management console and add/remove/edit service apps through there
• A web console app is available and can be deployed to allow remote management of services. The web console cannot add/remove services though.

The SACS Help file has all the information on installing and using SACS.
