Yes, but it seems silly to do that when there's apparently no need

Well, in actuality they are. Finder is the "daemon" that is
launching iTunes on a CD insert or DVD Player on a DVD Insert. Etc.
I believe that image capture and printers both use configd daemon
plugins to launch their UI applications.
Is there any public access to that? I notice there's no man page or
anything for configd and, of course, config is something else
entirely.
So, as you see, there is a need to run the daemon and the daemons
(though in one case it is an application) are running.
Well, what I meant is no need to run a *separate* daemon as clearly
something has to be monitoring the mounting process and that, by
definition, is a daemon.
In fact, I've already long since coded the obvious solution using
NSWorkspace, but I was looking for something without that overhead.
