[launchd-dev] CMF vs LaunchD

[Nehemiah Dacres]

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?
