It should be similar to what Spotlight does, with the daemon running at system startup, a command line client as "mdfind", a menubar item, etc. In the "Daemons and Agents" Technical Note TN2083 [1], "Apple recommends that you use UNIX domain sockets for client/daemon communication". Does Spotlight use this method? Being new to the Darwin/Apple world, I have another question also. In the Daemon-Safe Frameworks Table i read that Carbon and Cocoa are not available for use in daemon code, and it makes sense. Does it mean that I won't be able to vend an object using Distributed Objects (without an agent wrapping Cocoa messages to the Unix Socket)? Can you point me in the right direction? I hope I was not too off topic for this list. If I was, please tell me where those questions are appropriate.
