I second the endorsement of SrvAny. I've used this for years to run
various Ada programs as services. The Adaic.com web server is run with a
copy of SrvAny.

I believe someone wrote a generic Ada interface for making services
directly, but I've never seen any reason to use for 'personal' software.
(Look on AdaPower for that.)
