I'll then programmatically modify the login items, as suggested. Are launch daemons usable in Tiger or are they simarly not working until Leopard? - Alex -----Original Message----- From: darwin-dev-bounces+asheh=euphonix.com@lists.apple.com [mailto:darwin-dev-bounces+asheh=euphonix.com@lists.apple.com] On Behalf Of Dave Zarzycki Sent: Friday, June 16, 2006 8:48 AM To: finlay@dobbie.net Cc: darwin-dev@lists.apple.com Subject: Re: launch agent questions On Jun 16, 2006, at 2:49 AM, Finlay Dobbie wrote:

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?
I think Dave meant that you should use an alternative to LaunchAgents,
such as programmatically modifying the login items, which is supported
and should work in future releases of the operating system, current versions of the operating system and previous versions of the operating system.
If a solution is required for Tiger, yes, that is correct.
Going forwards, once LaunchAgents work properly (in Leopard), you should think about transitioning to them. At this point in time, it's probably best not to try and implement a LaunchAgent.
Exactly. Transition as your product requirements allow. davez _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
