Yeah, that’s not really how launchd is architected.

Hmmm, that’s weird.  How do you stop code running as user 502 connecting to the `com.qrecall.switchboard.501` service?  Presumable the daemon has a user ID check on its IPC.  If you’re doing that anyway, you could just have one daemon that handles all users.
