StartupItem? Can you give me a brief description?
It is an application that runs at startup, BEFORE a user logs in. You
could communicate with your driver from such an application.
Our driver also needs to configure itself based on user settings. My plan is:
1- startup item runs at startup time
2- it forks itself. the parent quits and the child runs forever (this
seems to be needed since if the parent never ends, the login window never
comes up)
3- the child process watches for user logins, when this happens it uses
CFPreferences to get the user prefs. The watching is done with APIs in
SystemConfiguration.h
4- the child sends the info to the driver
I have successfully got to step 2. But I think it will all work.
