Interactive C# shell for server monitoring

Hi,

Any experience anyone using Interactive C# shell
(http://www.mono-project.com/CsharpRepl) embedded into a server process
for monitoring purposes (accessible through a socket maybe?)

Thanks,

        pablo

It's doable using the attach functionality of Mono:

Sure, I've seen that.

My question is if anyone already played with it, introducing it into an
app and giving a network access to it.

The problem today with CSharp and attach is that it is not integrated  
with the main loop of an application, so it is inherently unsafe.

For Gtk# based applications, since we know that there is a main loop,  
we plug naturally into the main loop, so it is not an issue, but with  
server applications it is anyone's guess what kind of event processing  
exists.

In those cases, it would be best if the specific server application  
provides an explicit interface to get C# source and evaluate it.

Miguel.

Ok, thanks Miguel.
