I want to know how can this be programmatically achieved. Might this be the thing that you're looking for? http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/launchd.8.html Slashdot discussion here: http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/05/01/1858238&from=rss My understanding is that it will allow starting and watching of other daemons and processes, in addition to a few other things. I expect that it won't be too hard to port (assuming that no-one else has already), and Apple have released the source. Tim
