Hello!
I have a question regarding daemons as startup-objects.
I dispose of one admin and two normal users on my (ppc) Mac Mini running
MacOS X 10.3.9 Panther.
When logging in as admin, some programs start automatically: the
MicrosoftMouseHelper for my trackball (/Applications/ Microsoft
Mouse.app/Contents/Resources/MicrosoftMouseHelper.app), the
textpanderdaemon
(/Library/PreferencePanes/Textpander.prefPane/Contents/Resources/textpan
derdaemon.app)
for Textpander and the witchdaemon
(/Library/PreferencePanes/Witch.prefPane/Contents/Resources/witchdaemon.
app)
for Witch. These programs can also be found as startobjects in the
system
preferences - user - startobjects for the admin-user.
Although all these programs have been installed for all users, they
don't work if i'm logging in as normal user :-(
I handle this problem with the trackball as follows: I only have to open
the system preference and the trackball works again! But that means, i
would have to do this after each log in :-(
But this is not working with the textpander or witch. I then get the
following error messages
Witch (or Textpander) - fatal error
The witch background process cannot be started. Please try again or
send a short report. Thanks!
I havn't receive any answer from peter maurer yet.
When i try to add the daemons to system preferences - user -
startobjects, i cannot do this (although i know the path)! I can
only see the folders, not the daemons! :-(
Is there any possibility to add the textpander- and witch-daemon to
the startobjects (for a normal user)?
Thanks!
Regards,
Vlad
