Enrico, I’m a little concerned that installing anything in ~/… will make it user specific, and not system wide. Since only one copy of rxapi can run at a time, then only one user can use ooRexx. In your explorations can you test for this?
"The main difference [on Mac OS] is that an agent is run on behalf of the logged in user while a daemon runs on behalf of the root user or any user you specify with the UserName key.” This may imply that if you log off the daemon may stop running, or the daemon may not start until the user logs on.
