Oh dear, terminological confusion )-: We probably should clear this
up before I start trying to answer your real questions.
I'm use the terms from Technote 2083 "Daemons and Agents".
Admittedly, I wrote the technote (-: but at least I didn't invent the
terms.
So, would you classify your program as an agent? Here's a quick test:
o If it links with GUI frameworks (anything above the CoreServices
layer), it's definitely an agent.
o If it does stuff on behalf of a specific user, it's probably an agent.
o If it reads files from the user's home directory, it's probably an agent.
