Hi,
I have an Obj-c program who run as a daemon, using launchd, and that
look
for NSWorkspaceDidMountNotification.
*[[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] notificationCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(diskDidMount:) name:NSWorkspaceDidMountNotification
object:nil];*
-(void)diskDidMount:(NSNotification*)notif
{
NSLog(@"disk did mount");
}
My problem is that when the daemon is launched as root the
notification
isn't catched, how can I solve this ?
This probably has something to do with Mach namespaces.

The daemon launched as root gets its own Mach namespace, separate from
other user-level processes on the box. The
NSWorkspaceDidMountNotification probably won't cross the Mach
namespace boundary between the root-based daemon and other user-level
apps that might be listening for it.
