Autostart on Mac OS X #18

fpietrosanti commented 12 years ago

Apaf should provide support to register the APAF application for automatic startup on boot on Mac OS X (launchd service).

An APAF developer should be provided an API to interact with the registration of autostart of the APAF application as a services:

Install as a osx service
Configure autostart of a osx service
Start a osx service
Stop a osx service
Query if osx service is installed or not

this could be managed with a "Preference pane" opened by the status bar menu. By clicking the Item Preference in the status bar menu, a window will popup with an explanation and a check box that activate/deactivate the autostart of the app as a service.

That's cool, but the APAF developer should also be able to use an API "programmatic-ally" from within it's own software to provide it's own web-UI and/or automated methods to do that kind of actions.
