service.rb

This is an abstract base class for MUES services. A service is a subsystem which provides some auxilliary functionality to the hosted environments or other subsystems.

To implement a new service:

• Encapsulate the functions you want to offer in a class that inherits from the MUES::Service class.
• Add your class to the mues/lib/services directory, or require it explicitly from somewhere.
• Add the events you want to use for interacting with your service either to mues/events/ServiceEvents.rb, or define them in a separate class and add the file to the list of requires to mues/Events.rb.
