I have a helper tool (started via SMJobBless from the main app). Its launchd.plist contains (no idea why, probably I copied this from some sample code): LaunchOnlyOnce = YES RunAtLoad = YES OnDemand = NO
The problem: it runs even when the the main app has never asked it to run. Obviously it gets started automatically on login (or even directly after reboot?). This is not necessary. If it is not running, the main app should start it via SMJobBless. If it quits (or crashes) the main app may start it again (no automatic restart necessary). What launchd options are needed for this? Another question: [NSRunningApplication runningApplicationsWithBundleIdentifier: @"name of helper tool" ] returns an empty array. But Activity Monitor shows "name of helper tool" as running and my main app can communicate with it. Is there some other way to find out whether it is running? In the case that the main app cannot communicate with it (because something might be screwed up) I want to know whether it has died or not.
