2) Is launchd to be preferred over other methods in this case? And is it the way to go in general?

The preferred solution does not involve launchctl or programmatic control whatsoever.


In Apple's idealized view of the universe, your VPN daemon would be launch on demand via some IPC based mechanism. This has the nice side effect of implicit correctness. From your client's perspective, the daemon is virtually running all the time.

The only questions that remain are:

1) Do you have the source code to the VPN daemon and client?
2) Do you have the time to make some changes to the code?
