Tell the other programmer to read up on launchd then, it's the best 
solution. You can't do it all yourself, if only because you'll never be 
able to tell if you've done it right until the other person tries it. If 
they're doing any kind of Mac development then getting familiar with 
launchd will be well worth their time.
