There's one point I don't get with this architecture.

I have a daemon which is listening on a CFMessagePort named "toto".

I added a .plist file in mach_init.d and set OnDemand to true and the ServiceName to toto

What I expected was that when I send a CFMessagePort to the "toto" server, the daemon would be launched "if needed" and then would process the message.

From what I'm seeing, things are happening differently: the daemon is just launched and the message is "lost". If I then resend the message, it's processed.

So how is it supposed to work? The documentation is completely unclear (non-existent IMHO) on this point.

Do I need to have 2 MessagePort listeners with different names: one for the wake-up and one for processing and always send 2 messages to be sure it works?

Is the ServiceName just a fake message_port which is not to be in the daemon?

Is there a sample code well hidden somewhere?
