Communicate with Topshelf windows service running on a server
I have a Topshelf windows service running on a Windows Server and I want to communicate with it, start and stop it from a remote client app, and try to resume some data from "MyService.cs" that is running.
I tryed to implement a socket server but I found two problems:
- If I implement the socket inside the MyService.cs, when I kill the app from remote, I loose the socket;
- If I implement the socket as a different app installed on the server, it's difficult to retrieve data from the windows service that is running.
I tryed also searching on Google and I found this question about Topshelf communication and this guide that shows how to setup socket server in Topshelf, but this isn't useful for me.
How can I communicate with a Topshelf Windows Service that is running on a server?
