I'm in exactly the same situation - no idea what really distinguishes a
"service"
from any old program, or how programs behave differently when run as a service.
Anyway, thanks for Bill's pointer, I will be trying out the pipeTestService.py 
example and see if I can adapt that for my purpose.

Thanks, Haimo
