Checking on launch inside the launcher application itself would lead to a long delay before Safari appeared, which also does not seem like a good idea. I think this is a task better suited to an external application. 91251 2 mrowe 2008-09-15 15:15:43 -0700 *** Bug 20861 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 91252 3 jordi 2008-09-15 15:21:35 -0700 Is it not possible to spawn a thread upon the start of the launcher app, and check for updates after a timeout? That way, it doesn't delay Safari from starting. 91255 4 mrowe 2008-09-15 15:36:08 -0700 Starting Safari involves calling "exec", so the process that was running no longer exists. 91300 5 opendarwin 2008-09-15 19:25:23 -0700 NightShift <http://web.mac.com/reinholdpenner/Software/NightShift.html> might be a good solution for this. (Note: I haven't tried it myself, so this is not an endorsement, just a suggestion.) 105657 6 catfish.man 2009-01-14 04:43:18 -0800 Since this has been fixed, resolved wontfix seems inappropriate now ;)
