Re: Agent Applications and launchd

then perhaps you shouldn't be using CFPreferences either? Who knows how many lines of code it's made up of? ;-)

The question is not the depth of the code path, but who the owner of the code is. The 800 line solution would lie on my side (as in it would need to be supported by me even if with support from the great folks at dts). My whole point is that the supported way is ridiculous - "autolaunch foo" is a simple request and shouldn't take more than 5 lines of code to specify - heck I bet the whole autolaunch functionality doesn't have that much code. My suggestion would be for Apple to add a system call like:


NSRegisterLoginItem(pathToFoo);

And heck while at it add:

NSUnregisterLoginItem(pathToFoo);
NSRegisterLogoutItem(pathToBar);
NSUnregisterLogoutItem(pathToBar);

If they want to be fancy the registration methods could take a BOOL that indicates whether the process should be launched right after the registration completes.
