Hi,

Ok maybe this will be a better solution:

I will have a root daemon that listens on a sys_socket, and when it receives data it will pass the data to
the current logged in users cocoa app, so I will have a cocoa app running for each logged in user
and so how will I know to start up a cocoa app for each user when they login?
I understand when they log out this app will automatically be destroyed which is perfect. And if they
fast user switch the app will still be running for when the fast user switch back again.


But now I need to know how to start a cocoa app for each user that logs in.

Thanks,
Matt

More important than the problem, is the fact that you have a Cocoa
application running as root. Cocoa is an inherently insecure language
because of its dynamic nature and runtime. You should rethink what you
want this iapp to do and hand off any priviliedged actions to a well
written C app distributed within your bundled Cocoa app.

Hi,

I have a StartUp daemon item written in Cocoa obj-C that runs as root
in the back ground.
And I startup as one user and the windows display fine and pop up when
wanted. But
when I use fast user switching and login as another user on my computer,
those desired popup windows will display in the first users session,
and not display for who I am currently logged in.


Does this have something to do with the owner of the Bundle, and is
there a way to change this to make it so that when i switch users
these windows will start displaying in the currently logged in console
user?

Thanks,
Matt
