OS Foundations • 56:45
Mac OS X Tiger introduces a number of interesting and useful enhancements at the BSD level. This session outlines two new system services, Apple System Logger and launchd. Apple System Logger provides logging information in a consistent format, enabling administrators to easily analyze system behavior. Its rich API set also allows programmers to better customize their log messages. The new service management system, launchd, introduces a flexible and powerful way of handling StartupItems and daemons. This session is essential for anyone developing a background process or system service.
