mono.android.Seppuku is a broadcast receiver which calls java.lang.Runtime.exit(); you can view obj\Debug\android\src\mono\android\Seppuku.java after a build to see what it does. "Seppuku" is (ritual) suicide, and in this case the process is killing itself, so I thought the name was (darkly, sillily) appropriate. Now, why is it there? For many reasons -- you want to restart a Debugger session, or you're reinstalling the app via Fast Deployment -- the currently running process needs to exit. The Seppuku task is how we cause the currently running process to exit. Also note that it's only present in Debug builds, not Release builds. - Jon (the guy who came up with the name) _______________________________________________ Monodroid mailing list Monodroid@lists.ximian.com UNSUBSCRIBE INFORMATION: http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/monodroid
