site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev@lists.apple.com [I mistakenly sent this to darwin-kernel...] I seem to have a situation where the bootstrap context of a long-running daemon process sometimes "goes bad". Not sure just what's happening, but it can't seem to use any Mach ports. Can't connect to the windowServer, can't do DNS lookups, etc. When I use 'launchctl bslist' to look at the BC, I get an odd output:

% sudo launchctl bslist 7942 bootstrap_info(): 268435459 %

Is there a function I could call from a process to check the current bootstrap context? If the process could detect, in some systematic way, whether or not its bootstrap context is still good, it could restart when it needs to. (I can't call launchctl, because the process doesn't run as root.) Better yet, is there some way to prevent this context decay? My daemon is not launched via launchd, it's just classic UNIX daemonization: fork() setsid() fork() exec() Bill _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
