grasp of init.d is sufficiently shaky to be dangerous, so I'd really
appreciate it if someone could post up an example (just a really simple
one will do) showing how one would use an init.d script to start & stop
a service using mono-service2 as the wrapper.

There's an example init script - /etc/init.d/skeleton.

Just make a copy, and change the "DAEMON" parameter to
/usr/bin/mono-service and DAEMON_ARGS to /path/to/foo.exe
