I'm in the process of converting a StartupItem (which I could just
run to debug) to a launch-on-demand daemon that will be automatically
launched when a Unix-domain socket it registers is accessed.
I'd like to debug the launch code when it's launched by launchctl,
but obviously can't attach to the process because it isn't running
yet.
Is there a way to get Xcode to debug a process upon launch or other
practical techinique to use here?
(I can always put the process in an infinite loop and attach to it)
Also, the daemon will normally be run as root (although I'm pretty
sure I can test it in user space for the time being).
How would one debug a priviledged daemon with Xcode? (2-machine debugging?)
Suggestions and best practice welcome.
Thanks,
-Steve
