talagent(8) BSD System Manager's Manual talagent(8)
NAME
talagent -- helper agent for the Transparent App Lifecycle feature.
SYNOPSIS
talagent [command [arguments]]
DESCRIPTION
The talagent daemon provides services related to the Transparent App
Lifecycle feature. talagent may also be run manually as a command line
tool to output information about persistent state.
The options are as follows:
-help
Outputs usage information.
-dump bundle_id_fragment
Outputs the persistent state of an application whose bundle ID con-
tains the given fragment, case insensitive ("textedit" for example).
You may also pass a path directly to the app's persistent state
directory, usually in ~/Library/Saved Application State.
-launch bundle_id
This launches an app (in this case, TextEdit) in a manner approximat-
ing how apps get launched at login. You can pass either a bundle ID
fragment or a path to an app. The app is maintained stopped until
you hit return in the launching window (or until it receives SIG-
CONT). This is the easiest way to test the login scenario without
needing to log in.
-casinfo [ASN]
With no arguments, outputs summary information about all apps. With
one argument (an ASN), outputs the CAS record for that app.
-memory_pressure
Simulates memory pressure, which may cause apps that support auto-
matic termination to exit. This does not actually allocate any mem-
ory.
-refresh_encryption
Rotates the bitmap encryption key, and attempts to cross-encrypt all
existing window bitmaps under the new key. This is done periodically
by talagent.
