launchd doesn't launch Login Items. It does, however, launch per-user agents, but these only work on 10.5. > Then, take a look at the NSTimer docs to implement the every-so-often part > of it. This is a bad idea. It will put unnecessary burden on the processor, and therefore reduce battery life on mobile machines, by doing nothing in the runloop until the timer fires. It's just not an appropriate use of the NSTimer functionality. launchd already has the capability of launching tasks on a schedule using the StartCalendarInterval plist key. Just use it. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
