The bigger picture is that I want to check the runtime code signature of the process that owns this service. I have made some progress on the issue, but I've hit a roadblock. My first attempt involved using the launch.h APIs to retrieve all launchd processes, find the mach service of interest and get the PID from there. This works when the provider process is started as a user, as root or as a user using launchctl... but fails when started as root using launchctl. I've given up on this approach since I understand that as a user I have no access to services managed by the root launchd process. My second attempt involves appending the PID of the target process to its service name and iterating over all service names using bootstrap_info(). This would work quite nicely, but it appears that bootstrap_info() has been deprecated in Leopard. Is there another way to accomplish this? Is there a Leopard-and-up friendly way of listing all (including root managed) service names from a user process?
