Lingon is a graphical user interface for creating an editing launchd configuration files for Mac OS X Leopard 10.5. You can use launchd on a Mac to launch scripts and applications whenever something special happens or at a specific time or periodically. You get all launchd configuration files in a list to the left so you can easily see all and choose which one to edit.
Editing a configuration file is easier than ever in this version and it has two different modes. Basic Mode which has the most common settings readily available in a very simple interface and Expert Mode where you can add all settings either directly in the text or insert them through a menu.

ZEITKIND OK, after contacting the developer, he found the bug and already made a new version (2.01). Lingon starts fine now. If all developers were so responsive...

Nice tool for people who know what they do. Thx!

	Mar 12 2007	CALABAR_BEAN Perfect, except one issue: If using without admin-rights, i.e. just for viewing, it keeps asking for credentials, even if you don't wanna change anything. It should only ask for authentication while editing or writing changes. (Version 1.2)		0

PETER BORG The reason that it asks you to authenticate as an admin even when you are not editing, is because that is the only way to find out if a launchd is loaded or not. If you don't want to authenticate you can just press Escape or choose Cancel in the authentication dialogue and then it will display a question mark instead of a loaded or unloaded icon.

CALABAR_BEAN What about a preference to allow to disable this behavior?

	Mar 7 2007	MATS THORBURN Saved my day. I needed to keep a script alive on a kiosk-type computer - guaranteed, for a long time. Still works, after six months. If it crashes, it immediately kicks in again, thanks to launchd and Lingon. (Version 1.2)		0

	Apr 19 2006	GERBER Wonderful program. Making launchd agents isn't for the faint of heart, but Lingon makes it quick and easy. Lingon even takes a stab at making it intuitive, and succeeds as much as they might, given how complex these launchd files can be. Lingon also serves as a wonderful interface to control the under-the-hood daemons and agents that make your Mac do what it does. So far, no crashes, freezes, damaging of my computer (except when I cancelled the loginwindow, but ANYONE could do that!) or anything else. Solid, wonderful, helpful program! (Version 1.1.1)		0
