I have a few questions related to launch agents. I realize that
there is only one launchd per user, so a GUI session and an ssh login
session will not have separate launchd’s, and I’m fine with that
(otherwise, I believe loginwindow plist would be recommended).
I have a launch agent that I want to run whenever the user logs in
via the GUI window. I noticed that I need to call system(“launchctl
unload com.myCompany.myAgent.plist”) at then very end of executable
myAgent, in order for my launch agent to be run again after logging
out and logging back in via GUI. Otherwise my launch agent plist
remains loaded and the next time I log back in, nothing happens. Is
this method of unloading at the end of the executable reasonable, or
is there another more standard way of doing this?
I'm terribly sorry to report that LaunchAgents are for all practical
purposes, busted in Tiger. I'd advise against using them until
Leopard. Sorry.
Stupid question, how could one do that? Since it's a .plist and I don't
remember seeing a minimum OS version key, what would be the solution to
prevent it from running on 10.4?
