Let me start by saying that I've read the excellent TN2083, but I
didn't find that it answered my question.
Here's the problem I'm trying to solve. I hope that perhaps somebody
can help suggest a solution (and/or tell me if the solution I propose
below will work).
I have a little user agent application (written with Cocoa) that runs
as a primarily-faceless application (it has a Status Item in the menu
bar, but that's about it). It will be installed per-user, and needs
to launch when the user logs in to a normal GUI session. As well, if
it should crash, I would like it to be re-launched. The application
needs to support Tiger and Leopard.
So, obviously, I can do this with launchd on Leopard. I can get
launched at login with a Login Item on Tiger, but I don't get the
automatic restart.
So, what I'm wondering is: is there any way to use launchd to give me
the automatic restart that I need, on Tiger? One thing I had thought
of doing is to have myself launched as a Login Item, but once
launched, to *add myself* to launchd's list so that if I should crash,
I'll get re-launched.
I haven't tried this solution yet, so perhaps somebody can save me a
little time if you already know it won't work.
Any help (including alternative suggestions) is much appreciated.
Thanks,
--Mike
