Truthfully, I'd rather petition Apple to make it a part of launchd.
The
moment we have dependencies, then we have to worry about cycles
(deadlock), deciding what to do if a process that we're dependent on
goes down, etc. And, now that I'm thinking about it, there is another
cheesy method to handle the problem. Write a script that launchd
launches that runs your first program. When that program returns, the
script submits the other programs to launchd via 'launchctl submit'.
Since we haven't put anything into /Library/LaunchDaemons or the other
launchd places, we get the same effect as using /var/run, so
everything
is always launched in the correct order each time we reboot.
That's kinda what I did... I ended up writing a daemon which was
connected
to launchd, starts up and does all the initialization stuff. It then
actually manages
some of the other processes and they all communicate over a unix socket.Attachment:
