Lingon

Lingon I have heard your pleas, dear TUAWers, and  I present unto you a graphical interface for interacting with launchd in Tiger. If you'll recall launchd is a small process that runs in the background on OS X and watches the system. When certain criteria are met, like a file is modified, it triggers an event (like the running of a script). This can be very useful for a variety of things, but it required launching the Terminal, something not all Mac users are comfortable doing.

Enter Lingon, it provides a clean UI for creating config files for launchd and controlling them. If you don't believe me check out Systems Boys' overview on the subject.

Tip of the Day

Use Spotlight as a reference tool. Type any word in the Spotlight box and one of the top entries will be a definition. Click on it, and it will bring up the dictionary application to check the word in either the dictionary, thesaurus, Apple database, or Wikipedia.
