I'm currently launching the process using nohup but occasionally after logging out and back in again the process is gone. Something is reaping it.

I don't need it to survive a reboot (so I think launchd might be overkill here), but I would like it to persist as long as the machine is up and running, whether I'm logged in or not.

Check out Lingon. It is a very easy to use GUI with which you can edit and create launchd configuration files.

  • This makes the barrier to launchd entry low enough to use for this case. Thanks.

screen? You can log out, and the screen sessions continue running. Although they shouldn't count on your FileVault home directory being mounted, if you use that feature.
