Add Preference Pane for Background-only app

Hi All,

I have a Background-Only application that is started as a user login item. This is working great, but I would like to add a simple System Preferences pane to control some specific behavior of the background app. I am looking for some advice or maybe the location of a few online examples that could help me achieve this? Specifically, I am not sure how I get my System Preference pane to talk to the running background application and what the best method is to make this work. I thought about using a single Shared Preference file that each app uses, and then hook up a NSUserDefaultsController in each app to talk to the prefs file. I think this will work, but before I dig in to make this happen, I thought I would check here for any suggestions or better methods. I have been writing cocoa apps for about a year and half, but have yet to do any sort of application to application communication.

Any ideas out there?


Thanks,

kam
