Greetings,

Let's say I have a Service running on my machine, that has a full object
model of some kind.  From an external process, such as a Win application or
Console application, I'd like to be able to do something like:

MyService ms = MyService.GetInstance();

and return an active reference to the service so I can then use the object
model for configurations, automation, or even wiring up to events/callbacks
so I can do some debugging and such.

How would I go about making GetInstance() return a reference to the active
service (not create a new one).  It is conceivable that multiple
applications might want a reference simultaneously.

Thanks,
Shawn
