Hi,
Worker service is cross platform.
We can start/stop worker service on window from MAUI app using ServiceController.
How is done with Linux and Mac? which package can start/stop worker service from MAUI app.
Thanks,

    in MacOs and linux world you create daemons, not services.

    macOs daemon

    linux daemon

    on MacOs (and freebsd), you configure launchd with launchctl

    https://www.launchd.info
    https://ss64.com/osx/launchctl.html

    on linux it will depend on the distro used. some use service, but others use systemd

    https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/systemd.service.5.html
    https://www.linux.com/training-tutorials/understanding-and-using-systemd/

    note: on MacOs and Linux, you'd typically fork, and run a configuration utility rather than call a library to configure startup applications. Often this is done by the installation script.
