AGL Application Launcher service reference implementation
applaunchd is a simple service for launching applications from other
applications. It exposes an interface named 'org.automotivelinux.AppLaunch' on
on the D-Bus session bus and can be autostarted by using this interface name.
This interface can be used to:
- retrieve a list of available applications
- request that a specific application be started by using the 'start' method
- subcribe to the 'started' and/or 'terminated' signals in order to be notified when an application started successfully or terminated
For more details about the D-Bus interface, please refer to the file
data/org.automotivelinux.AppLaunch.xml.
Applications can be started either through D-Bus activation (using their D-Bus
name) or by specifying a command line to be executed, and are monitored until
they exit. Please note applaunchd allows only one instance of a given
application.
