Method ServiceApp():start()

Starts the service process.

:start() --> self

The class method returns the class object.

The service process starts when this class method is called which usually occurs in the procedure Main() of the service application. :start() creates the service process and executes the callback method :main() to run the actual task performed by the service.

The class method returns when two conditions are met: the service has finished its :main() callback method and has received a "stop" control request.

When the service application is running in the debugger, no service process is created and the :main() callback is called directly. This way, it is possible to debug a service application.
