some one critiqes your talk on launchd in favor of Solarus's CMF, any comments? http://www.macgeekery.com/launchd_video#comments the comment is "The whole presentation was significantly longer and more verbose than it needs to be. I found two things interesting: – for all the talk about making things easy to use, setting up launchd jobs without the use of a third-party app like Lingon is harder than it needs to be – many of the shortcomings of launchd are already addressed by Solaris' SMF, e.g. dependency tracking between services, or monitoring all the subprocesses so that if a service is restarted, you don't have left-over orphaned child processes of the old service instance to get in your way" posted as anon. i agree with your not wanting to allow the user(admin) to fork and forget as your say but what about his other claim. any reply? -- "lalalalala! it's not broken because I can use it" http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=194281&threshold=1&commentsort=0&m...
I wish not to respond to the anonymous comment directly. If you have any questions of your own, I would be happy to answer them. On Sep 14, 2007, at 4:36 PM, Nehemiah Dacres wrote:
