Some Launchd Recipes
June 19th, 2005 | Published in Mac, Tools I Use
A principal misconception I’ve encountered among people who have heard of launchd or looked into it and chose some other solution is that they seem to think it’s just for making startup items. It’s quite different.
Launchd allows for starting a program under any of these conditions:
- configuration file is loaded
- time has elapsed (repeating)
- time has arrived (scheduled)
- program exit (to keep a program running)
- network connection (inetd-style)
- file is modified
- file exists in a queue directory
Good stuff again, Liking this site. I am getting geekier
