My colleague just showed me a very concise example of how he created a service that can be registered with Windows. The same code works for Unix as well.
I don't think there are any boost libraries that can do this yet.
Agreed, and as I noted there's other components of POCO that are not (yet) in Boost (in particular, XML parsers). So what about someone submitting a "service" library for Boost? (I'm not sure what the definition of a service is - I'm a little bit familiar with Windows services, and the same for Unix daemons, but not sure what the higher-level abstraction for both would be, since the details of both OS facilities have some significant differences.)
