But I am setting this up programatically. So, is there an API to do this, or is the correct/supported/only way to do this by fork+exec launchctl?

Also, is there a prettier way of determining if a job is loaded other than exec `launchctl list` and parsing the output?

In that case, check out launch.h, the API to the launchd for your user. You can use it to send messages to the daemon, which can start/stop/list jobs amongst other things. It isn't the easiest thing to work with, and I don't think Apple encourage its use for job management. That said, launchd is open source, and Rainer Brockerhoff has written some sample code using the launch.h API ( http://www.brockerhoff.net/bb/viewtopic.php?p=2647#2647). *********************************************************************** This e-mail and its attachments are confidential, legally privileged, may be subject to copyright and sent solely for the attention of the addressee(s).
