I have a PrefPane that acts as a ui for a command line utility
(helper). According to the launchd docs, all I need to do is add the
correct plist to the /LaunchAgents folder. However, this will take
effect after a restart, which is unacceptable. To load the helper
immediately, I need to go through launchctl.
So here's my problem: there are virtually no docs on how to use
launchctl programmatically, and the sporadic comments google turned up
on the subject say it's not worth the trouble. However, I can't seem
to find a "recommended" alternative. It's my understanding that the
alternative possibly involves a script to call launchctl, but how
would this work, and more importantly, how would it be integrated into
the PrefPane code?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
D. Rolidis
