Hi If you are refering to a "service" as a hivemind service, then you can hava look on the service modles which are threaded, pooled, primitive and singleton. Singleton service model will ensure that only one instance of service exists. After you know that you can synchronize part of the code which is responsible for checking and creating directories. But I guess better approach would be to put non-multithreaded part of your functionality to the singleton service and have other threaded services reading data prepared by singleton service.
