Hello. I have a daemon which provides access to a certain device. However, the device needs to have text displayed on its LCD which fits the current locale. Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to query the current user's locale in a daemon (assuming there is a current user), as it runs under the root user. Any solution must work in 10.3 and 10.4...
Therefore, is there a way to:
a) Let the daemon be notified of user logon, and query the locale of that user?
b) Split user dependent functionality out of the daemon and run it as a per user item. However, the daemon would need to communicate with this item and get the locale, and I don't know how to create a per user startupitem.
c) Could the daemon be notified of user login, and spawn a helper app in that user session which would return the locale?
I have read that LaunchAgents are broken under 10.4 and so they are not viable for me. If anyone has any ideas on the matter, I would appreciate a pointer.
thank you,
Philip Lukidis
