How to make the service offered by myapp.prefPane continue even afterquitting system preferences? Is there any way by which I can run serviceoffered by myapp.prefPane in background?
You'll need to create a separate executable that runs as an "agent" (a per-user background process, as opposed to a daemon, which is system- wide.) You can package this inside your pref-pane's bundle, so the user doesn't have to separately install any other pieces.
You probably want the agent to start running when the user logs in, so s/he doesn't have to keep launching System Preferences to start the service every time. The usual way to set this up is to register the agent with launchd by putting a property-list file into ~/Library/ LaunchAgents.
There's a lengthy Apple tech-note on daemons and agents that describes this.
Also check the man page for "launchd.plist" and "launchctl". —Jens
