how to find Login & logout events in mac?

Question

I am fresher for this application development field. I am tried to get notifications during user login & logout events. I have tried with NSWorkSpaceNotifications, but it does not working for me.

Can somebody help me please.

-(void)logInLogOutNotifications{
    NSNotificationCenter *notCenter;
    notCenter = [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] notificationCenter];
    [notCenter addObserver:self
                  selector:@selector(observerMethod)
                      name:NSWorkspaceWillPowerOffNotification object:nil]; 
}

-(void)observerMethod:(NSNotification *)senderNotification;{

    NSLog(@"System Logout Notification is called***********************");

}

Answer 1

NSApplicationMain Begin the RunLoop. You are calling logInLogOutNotifications function from main() function, so you shoud run runloop. or call logInLogOutNotifications in applicationDidFinishLaunching

-(void)logInLogOutNotifications{
    NSNotificationCenter *notCenter;
    notCenter = [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] notificationCenter];
    [notCenter addObserver:self
                  selector:@selector(observerMethod)
                      name:NSWorkspaceWillPowerOffNotification object:nil]; 
[[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] run];
}

Your method takes one argument, so you should change

@selector(observerMethod)

to

@selector(observerMethod:)
