IMHO, what you describe below is the right behavior. Can you imagine the
mess if it was not so? In case no one is logged in, where are all events
going? Who (user) sends them? Have you thought about security issues?
If you would like to have service app, well no one stops you. Write a
Tool, and run it all the time. You can still use Foundation framework for
this. But you cannot use AppKit. If you must have UI, well, this is also
easy. Split your service app in server tool and UI client, and when a
user is logged in, let the client talk to the tool...
Well, sounds easy, doesn't it?
What about if my service app does some image/text/pdf manipulation with
AppKit classes (NSImage,text, etc.)? Not displaying the results, mind you.
A simplistic example is image lowres/thumbnail generation - people drop
images in a network mounted folder, thumbnails come out somewhere else.
And there are many more complex situations where AppKit can/could be used
as Foundation (for processing, not GUI display)....
So, anybody knows can I use AppKit in a daemon (for processing) and how to
do it?
