Set your program as a User Agent with launchd on install (i.e., a login item). launchd will make sure your program is running when the user logs in.

Then, take a look at the NSTimer docs to implement the every-so-often part of it.

Hi everyone:

I am wondering how to create a background process that will only run when
the user is logged in and will run every certain minutes (a bit like Time
Machine).  I am also not sure in which way the action in the background
process would be programmed, so any information regarding this would be
great.


Thanks for any help.
