Daemon in Mac OS X

[saggi_crishna]

Hi ,

I have a following requirement that i should start an application as a daemon in mac os x from the installer of that product. I found that there is a folder called startup items in system folder in which i can place a script and this script gets run at startup time. But can anybody tell me how to specify the path of the application in this script and what parameters i should pass.

officially, you should create a startupitem bundle in /Library/StartupItems

/System is "Keep Out"

Hi ...i tried the starting part. But i dont find any processes running for this so that i can stop the processes. Is there any process which will run when we start an application when it is launched as a startup bundle. Also should we write any stop script to provide the user to stop the application.
