launchd doesn't provide support for multiple job instances currently. We are very aware of this need, however, so don't take this to mean that we see that use case as outside of our model.
For now though, you can sort of achieve this by using the ServiceManagement API (in Snow Leopard) to submit unique-ified jobs to launchd on-the-fly.
And on 10.4 and 10.5?
You could use the undocumented (but public) launchd API in launch.h, but we don't really like people using it for anything but checking in to get socket file descriptors. That's why we introduced ServiceManagement. -- Damien Sorresso BSD Engineering Apple Inc. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
