Starting launch agents
by \"Miklós Fazekas\" 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

Hi! We have a product that uses launch agents. We'd like to avoid the reboot after install, so we'd like start the agents for *all* the Aqua session-s from the installer. Is it something supported/possible? I tried to implement it by iterating through the '/tmp/launchd-*/sock' files and setting LAUNCHD_SOCKET to these files, then invoking the launchctl command. But it doesn't seems to do it. Any ideas? Regards, Miklos

CMF vs LaunchD

some one critiqes your talk on launchd in favor of Solarus's CMF, any comments? http://www.macgeekery.com/launchd_video#comments the comment is "The whole presentation was significantly longer and more verbose than it needs to be. I found two things interesting: – for all the talk about making things easy to use, setting up launchd jobs without the use of a third-party app like Lingon is harder than it needs to be – many of the shortcomings of launchd are already addressed by Solaris' SMF, e.g. dependency tracking between services, or monitoring all the subprocesses so that if a service is restarted, you don't have left-over orphaned child processes of the old service instance to get in your way" posted as anon. i agree with your not wanting to allow the user(admin) to fork and forget as your say but what about his other claim. any reply? -- "lalalalala! it's not broken because I can use it" http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=194281&threshold=1&commentsort=0&…
