Hi everyone!
I need do to regular upload’s to a fileserver for one kind of file and sometimes I need to open those file’s locally.
So I had the idea of running a deamon application that opens when the file is double clicked. then a window come’s up where you can choose between running the file using a predesignated application or auto-uploading it to the fileserver and putting it in a folder (e.g. /root/files/uploaded). This needs to work in the background (no dock-icon and always loaded in-memory) Doing this itself isn’t hard. but ofcourse there is a downside. For I need to make a settings application. and this can be loaded normally. (dock-icon, not always in memory).
E.g. When you open the application for the first time it automatically opens the deamon and then opens the settings. and when you quit the application the deamon needs to stay active. but when you open it a second time it just loads the settings (because the deamon is still loaded). Could anyone of you explain how this can be done?
Thank you!
