How to ensure that my job is launched through launchd and not directly?
by Raunak Poddar 20 Apr '15

I have a program and I want to ensure that it has been launched only by launchd (as a daemon) & it should terminate if the user launches it directly (double-click on Finder, terminal). Is there a nifty way of accomplishing this?

launchctl list anomaly when logged in as root user
by Raunak Poddar 11 Apr '15

I have an launchd User Agent with label com.mycompany.myAgent & a launchd daemon with label com.mycompany.myDaemon. I use the command $launchctl list com.mycompany.myAgent & $sudo launchctl list com.mycompany.myDaemon to view the PID of my job and it's LastExitStatus. Everything works fine when I'm logged in as a standard/admin user. When I login as root (System Administrator) although, I do not get the status of my agent. I can see my agent's executable running in the Activity Monitor app but $launchctl list does not show my agent. Is there a way I can query my agent when logged in as root?
