This example demonstrates the Qt Service Framework inter-process mechanism that allows services to be deployed as remote services. Multiple clients can be run to communicate with one another using a shared instance of the echo service, or privately with a unique instance.

The second echo client is for running a second identical instance on Symbian which usually does not allow starting the same program multiple times.

For Maemo and Linux platforms using D-Bus as the underlying IPC mechanism, the autostart feature can be intialised by running the service framework tool in the the mobility binary install folder:
