Hi all, Sorry for the somewhat basic question, I am writing a server in python that I have registered with launchd. I am using a preference pane to control the service (using "launchctl start/stop"), but I would like the preference pane to know if the service is actually running. Because it is a python script, the process shows up just as 'Python', so tracking the process using NSWorkspace launchedApplications (actually I just read this may not work anyway) would not work if the user happens to be using other python scripts. Is there a way to get the status of my process from launchd? Since launchd is controlling the whole show, I thought there must be some method to find out if my python script is actually running, stopped, dead, whatever. Thankyou! Chris.
