I have an applet that I am running periodically using launchd . Is there any way to keep it from popping in and out of the Dock every time it runs? I can't find anything in the launchd documentation that addresses this nor can I find any option to save an applet as a background process.

Add the LSBackgroundOnly flag to the Info.plist with a value of true:

<key>LSBackgroundOnly</key>
<true/>

BTW, you'll have to re-add it every time you re-save the script - Script Debugger has this problem at least. I didn't try Script Editor.
