How can I run the D2OL and CommunityTSC Distributed Computing programs as a service/daemon on MacOSX...
(in background, before logon, and with out any screen output, nothing in tray at bottom of screen.
If they have a GUI then you can't make the Unix daemons. (Nor would you really want to) If you just don't want certain applications to show up in the Dock, that is a different matter entirely.
Check out Hide From Dock. I've not used it, but I think it will do what you want. There is a way to do this programmatically. However I wouldn't advise doing this unless you know what you are doing.
both D2OL and CommunityTSC (www.terrenebell.net)have a commnd line client available, but just in case, that link mentioned about Apple's Dock natively having that feature...to be able to hide a program from the dock..
