Re: Background if Login Item launched

You can use getppid() to get your parent process id, and compare this to the various things you get from kvm_getprocs(). The hope is that processes forked by Login Items would have a different parent than those forked by Finder and the Dock. I don't know for sure, but at least it's a place to start.

I have an application that normally is launched as a Login Item, but the first time, it is launched by the user. I need to detect which method is used, and suppress the application from becoming the active application if launched as a Login Item.

How can I detect if the application is launched via the Login Items?

How can I force the application to remain in the background after it is launched, even if it is the last or only Login Item?
