Hi,
I've been using AuthorizationMBS with success in some areas, but I've noticed that
a command I'm running doesn't run.
Code is similar to this:
dim a as new authorizationMBS
if a.SimpleNewAuthorization then
a.execute("/bin/launchctl",array("unload","/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.bodoni.server.plist")
if a.lasterror<>0 then break
end if
Although there's no error shown, the service does not stop.
This works from the terminal:
sudo launchctl unload Library/LaunchDaemons/com.bodoni.server.plist
I can't see anything in the console log that might suggest what's wrong.
This is from the console log.
AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges and AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivilegesExternalForm are
deprecated and functionality will be removed soon - please update your application
I've tried a couple of variations, with and without /bin in the path and various
launchctl subcommands such as disable, kill.
Regards,
Lee

Could you maybe look like our example:
if a.LastError<>0 then
MsgBox "Lasterror on Execute: "+str(a.LastError)
else
e=a.Wait // wait for process to terminate. Returns PID
if a.LastError<>0 then
MsgBox "Lasterror on Wait: "+str(a.LastError)
end if
end if
msgbox a.ReadStream(1024)
So you would read the error message from the stream after it finished?

Yes, Apple loves you to use helper apps for this.
See SMAppServiceMBS class.

Hi Christian,
Thanks for your reply.
a.lasterror is 0
a.readstream is empty
When I try from the command line there's no output either, so I'm not sure
readstream would have anything in it.
When I try /bin/launchctl print com.bodoni.server, it all works. a.lasterror is 0,
a.readstream has the same output as when I use a terminal. print can be used to see if a
launchdaemon is running.
So it looks like everything is working, but the service does not stop. We have to stop a
few services using this method. 1 is a consoleapp, 1 is an old API1 webserver app, 1 is a
newer API2 webserver app, so I don't think the style makes any difference.
If I stop the services from the terminal using the same command, running /bin/launchctl
load system/com.bodoni.server from AuthorizationMBS starts the service properly.
Regards,
Lee
