[launchd-dev] Diagnosing launchd daemon failure to launch

[Dave Zarzycki]

Iain,

Alternatively, given that your code uses Distributed Objects, one can  
add a Mach service to the launchd property-list and then use this on  
the server side:

id serverBinding = [NSConnection serviceConnectionWithName:  
@"com.example.exampleMachService" rootObject: exampleObject];

And on the client side:

id exampleRemoteObject = [NSConnection connectionWithRegisteredName:  
@"com.example.exampleMachService" host: nil];


Cheers,

davez
