Hi all, Is nobody able to advise on this type of scenario? Kind regards, Tim On Tue, 23 Sep 2008 12:13:37 +0100, Tim Schooley wrote:
Hi all,
So I think this is probably quite a "sane" task to have to perform:
- Upon installing a product, detect which users are logged in, and load the installed LaunchAgent script for each user.
- Upon uninstalling the product, detect which users are logged in, and unload the LaunchAgent script for each user.
These tasks would be performed preupgrade, postinstall, etc...
I wrote the following script to perform this task:
---- for user in `/usr/bin/users` do echo "Loading agent for user $user..." /usr/bin/su -l $user -c "/bin/launchctl load -SAqua /Library/LaunchAgents/com.mycompany.myproduct.plist" EXIT_STATUS=$? if [ $EXIT_STATUS != 0 ] then echo "failed (non-fatal, status $EXIT_STATUS)." else echo "Done!" fi done ----
And similarly for unloading.
The script works for the user that launched the installer. But if for example another user is logged in using Fast-User Switching, the following error is printed in the installer log when preupgrade attempts to unload the script:
preupgrade[pid]: launchctl: Error unloading: com.mycompany.myproduct.plist
Also, on post[upgrade/install], the following error is printed when attempting to load the script for other users:
postupgrade[pid]: launch_msg(): socket is not connected
I've searched around for answers to these issues, but had no luck. I was hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction?
Many thanks for any help!
Kind regards,
Tim
