Daemon Advice?

[Karl Moskowski]

I'm working on a Foundation tool to be used as a launchd daemon. It's a Leopard-only GC app that uses FSEvents to watch for changed files.

Can anyone offer any tips or guidance? Thanks.

// daemon.m

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <signal.h>
#import  "AnObject.h"
#import  "MyObserver.h"

void handleSignal (int signal) {
        NSLog(@"Shutting daemon down");

        AnObject * anObject = [[AnObject alloc] init];
        [anObject doCleanup];


        exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
        signal (SIGTERM, handleSignal);
        signal (SIGINT, handleSignal);

        AnObject * anObject = [[AnObject alloc] init];
        if (![AnObject doSetup])
                exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

        NSLog(@"Daemon running");


        [[MyObserver sharedInstance] beginObserving];

        [[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] run];
        
        return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

I'm using something similar to the below code, and it seems to work correctly when under launchd control. However, information on creating Foundation-based Objective-C daemons is hard to find and I'm worried I'm missing something, or (worse) on the wrong track entirely. [[NSDistributedNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"DaemonHasShutDown" object:nil userInfo:nil options:NSNotificationPostToAllSessions]; [[NSDistributedNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"DaemonIsRunning" object:nil userInfo:nil options:NSNotificationPostToAllSessions];
