Hi,
I have looked through the archives for this list and at omnigroup and
have not found the answers to my questions.
I have a background task which does have some UI (simple dialog boxes
and menu bar status item). I have it started in /Library/Startupitems
which means that it is running as root. The documentation states that
"Persistant processes should not be per-user and thus should run as
root; loginwindow does not terminate root processes." Well, my process
is being terminated when a user logouts out. I really don't want to
split this into two tasks. Is there any way to get the system to leave
my task running when the user logouts? How can I get notification when a
user logins and logouts without a per-user login task?
I have just subscribed to this list and don't know when I will start
receiving emails, so if you can kindly reply to my address directly in
addition to the mailing list, I will appreciate that.
Thanks,
Mike
