Hi,
I want to have a dynamically updating swiftDialog UI appear in the login window. Each disparate part of this endeavor goes fine: swift dialog works, my launchagent works in the loginwindow domain, I can even get swiftDialog windows to spawn in the login window! Success, right? No. As soon as you bring this commandfile business into it, it stops working entirely. I’ve captured error from the /usr/local/bin/dialog script, and it reports that the “loginwindow” user cannot open the specified command file. I understand this to be a symptom of the sandboxing inflicted on the loginwindow process. I cannot find a combination of file locations, permissions, and owners that would allow me to get this working. So… I just have to ask: is this possible whatsoever? Am I barking up the wrong tree here? Could using Outset maybe make this possible?
