Now I'm curious if anyone here remembers the standard path for tools on Mac OS X which are launched by launchd -- there's a folder in Library which isn't created by default but is considered proper, but I can't recall nor find any mention of it.

Brent, Apple's BetterAuthorizationSample uses /Library/ PrivilegedHelperTools/, and that location seems to have become a de facto standard. <http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/BetterAuthorizationSample/> Caveats: - ensure any installers keep the correct permissions and ownership on that folder; - ensure your tool is uniquely named, probably using reverse DNS notation (e.g., com.mycompany.foobard). (There are probably more.) ---- Karl Moskowski <kolpanic@voodooergonomics.com> Voodoo Ergonomics Inc. <http://voodooergonomics.com/>
