How to use SPWindowsService

From what I understand from the sparse documentation on MSDN, the way to do long running jobs in SharePoint is to use a SPWindowsService. I would like an example on how to create a custom windows service to run in the context of a SharePoint farm.

The following MSDN article should give enough information about how to integrate Windows Services with SharePoint and use the SPWindowsService class.

Instead of SPWindowsService you should create a custom SharePoint Timer Job that executes periodically or once. There are quite a few examples out there on the web, but start with Andrew Connell's examples and go from there:
