Hi,
While going through code snippets given in QA, I observed that apple used *
daemon* API to run process in background. In my cocoa application, I just
added daemon(0,0) line in my main function & using LSUIElement, hide the
application icon. Now even though dock icon is hidden, my application is
able to trap logout/restart/shutdown in
-(void)workspaceWillPowerOff:(NSNotification
*)aNotification. Want to know whether this way is correct? or is it having
any drawback?
Thanks for reply,
Palav
