Hi! I'm trying to evaluate if it is feasable to have an on-demand daemon depend on the presence of a certain usb device. I.e. I'd like the daemon to launch when the USB-device is plugged in. So far, looking at tn2083 and the man pages, I don't see any way to have a depency on USB or IOKit in general. Am I missing something here? If there is no direct support would it make sense to have a very small, lightweight daemon always running that registers for IOKit IOServiceAddMatchingNotification notifications and creates a semaphore file that can be used to trigger the launch of the real daemon for example? BTW: This would be mainly for Leopard, although Tiger would be interesting too. Thanks!
