Member Enumeration Documentation

enum macx::StartupItem::ServiceType

Type of startup service.

A "daemon" is, by definition, a system-wide service of which there is one instance for all clients. An "agent" is a service that runs on a per-user basis. Daemons should not attempt to display UI or interact directly with a user's login session. Any and all work that involves interacting with a user should be done through agents.

Enumerator:

ServiceTypeSystemDaemon	System-wide daemon provided by the administrator.
ServiceTypeAllUsersAgent	Per-user agent provided by the administrator for all users.
ServiceTypeCurrentUserAgent	Per-user agent provided by the current user.
ServiceTypeNumberOfTypes

Member Function Documentation

static bool macx::StartupItem::create	(	ServiceType	type,
		const std::string &	serviceId,
		const std::list< std::string > &	arguments,
		const std::string &	userName = std::string()
	)		[static]

Create new startup daemon/agent config file.

Use CurrentUser string for userName argument to write the current user's logon name into the config file

static bool macx::StartupItem::load	(	ServiceType	type,
		const std::string &	serviceId
	)		[static]

Load startup daemon/agent config.

Jobs that are not on-demand will be started as soon as possible.

static bool macx::StartupItem::remove	(	ServiceType	type,
		const std::string &	serviceId
	)		[static]

Remove existing startup daemon/agent config file.

static bool macx::StartupItem::unload	(	ServiceType	type,
		const std::string &	serviceId
	)		[static]

Unload startup daemon/agent config.

This will also stop the job if it is running.
