Launchd VideoThere is a video on Launchd on Google Video as part of the Google Tech Talks series. The creator of launchd gives a talk on how to use it and how its going to change as of Leopard 10.5. its pretty informative and useful if you are a sysadmin and supposedly if your a programmer also. About mehemiah |

Nice find.
The whole presentation was significantly longer and more verbose than it needs to be.
I found two things interesting: – for all the talk about making things easy to use, setting up launchd jobs without the use of a third-party app like Lingon is harder than it needs to be – many of the shortcomings of launchd are already addressed by Solaris’ SMF, e.g. dependency tracking between services, or monitoring all the subprocesses so that if a service is restarted, you don’t have left-over orphaned child processes of the old service instance to get in your way
