I'm working on an app which will be written in Swift, but which needs to
use some authorisation method to allow creation and deletion of files
and folders inside the /Library directory. Last time I needed this sort
of ability (three years ago), I took the SMJobBless sample code, along
OK. My bad. The Readme had it all, and I missed it.
My unconscious Classic-Mac programmer seems to filter out python scripts still…
Thanks, it works now.

Hi. Excuse this novice question (I see previous questions relating to
SMJobBless that start off where I need to finish…)
I need to develop an OS-X daemon (in c++) that must run privileged. I intend to
deploy it embedded in a System-Preferences panel, that will launch it using the
SMJobBless
ful hint.
But:
After doing SMJobBless twice, the third time I get kSMErrorInternalFailure.
Any cure for this (other than reboot)?
But anyway, this reduces the number of necessary reboots to one third.
Kind regards,
Gerriet.

The problem: When I change the helper tool, the only way to get the new version

SMJobBless seems to be the more modern way to do this, but this requires

Does anyone out there use SMJobBless to interact with the Mac OS X to
create/destroy, and load/unload launchdamons/agents?

I created a blessed helper and when I view it in Activity Monitor, it does not

Can somebody please refer me to the appropriate documentation as I can not find
it.

Messing around with the Apple sample project SMJobBless, I got the SMJobBless()
function to work.
I.e. my helper tool is blessed and gets copied to:
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/de.mdenkmann.SMJobBlessHelper .
But how to start the helper tool?

I am trying to install a helper tool via SMJobBless and it is returning this

I suppose one more additional check that might need to be made is to verify

So, it looks like one can call SMJobCopyDictionary with kSMDomainSystemLaunchd

It does. SMJobBless submits a blessed plist to launchd. It does not do one-off
jobs. You use once it to install a privileged launchd task that yo

If you want answer, you should try the darwin-dev list.
SMJobBless is not cocoa specific, and so is off-topic on this list, and IIRC,
the engineer in charge of the ServiceManagement framework is a darwin-dev
subscriber.

I had a couple of followup questions concerning the approach used by SMJobBless

In the How It Works section in the ReadMe, it states:
4. Requiring the user to authorize the privileged helper tool only once the
first time it's used
