Shame. But good solution regardless.

I'm already using launchd to some extent, because I just run my normal overnight Radmind sessions via the periodic daily routine. (This works unless the computers are asleep through 10.4.6, and then the plot thickens -- you're never really sure when the missed job will be rescheduled.) But I'm also trying to get a Radmind session that won't delay logout, but is tied to logout, running as that is a dependable during-the-day trigger in my environment.

I'm using a LaunchDaemon to trigger a radmind run while the user is still logged in. This is needed in our environment when a user is connected via VPN or 802.1x - logging out kills their connection, so logging out and then radminding won't work.

And I was attempting to use a LaunchDaemon for the same reason -- logout-driven background Radminding! This is getting really weird, like we're always on the same wavelength or something. :) I literally found this out independently the same week you posted about this.
