Re: More -LoginHook

11 Jul 2003

      I can only say I've used daemon/headless LoginHooks without any problem.

If you make the headless program immediately launch an app that has a

GUI during the loginWindow's login prompt window, I believe the login

window will run while your app runs. It did at least with 10.2.4.

There's some documentation for making kiosks with MacOS X 10.2. You should

check them out. There might or might not be something related to the login

mechanism in the tech note that you want to (or don't want to) take

advantage of.

If the target of the -LoginHook parameter is a plain Mach-O binary

If you execute the binary instead of the .app folder:

-LoginHook /Applications/Chess.app/Contents/MacOS/Chess

the LoginHook does indeed cause Chess to execute.
