I've been looking at this a bit. There are ways I could tie the
daemon to the WindowServer so it gets killed on logout, but at this
point I'm not convinced that is necessary. I'll let you in on a
secret - the System Preferences "Stop Authoxy" button actually just
sends a killall! If you can get your script working (and there should
be no reason why you can't) I think that's the solution that would
best suit.
The only tricky thing Authoxy does when killing the daemon is to send
a CONT message first to make sure the daemons are awake. So the
commands sent look like this:
killall -CONT authoxyd
killall authoxyd
I can take a look at your script if you like, to see if anything
stands out. There should be no problem starting the daemon again.
What actually happens when you try to start Authoxy the next time? Do
any errors appear in the system log?
