So, here is what I've found, presented as quickly as possible. I don't have easy access to the server versions of 10.5, 10.6, 10.10 or 10.11 right now, but based on a comment on a webpage I think it first showed up in 10.5 Server. I briefly looked at 10.7 to see if it was there (it was-probably because the server OS version was replaced by the app so they had to move this to the regular OS-and suddenly I'm wondering just how much of 10.6 Server was moved to 10.7.). But I know I'll forget all of this once I go back to my regular tasks and it still works in 10.11 and I might want to use it more than just what I've already decided to do. The whole time I've written this I've debated if this is worth documenting as much as I am especially because Apple should document it and also because 10.9 OS X Server almost migrated away from it completely. I think emond was affected by this change. And of course 10.7 (released Jul 2011) was when OS X Server became an application instead of an OS, lost a large portion of it's functionality, and there hasn't really been much documentation since 10.6. I don't know what happened inside of the company (ok, it was the iPhone) and I haven't really thought all of the changes out, but 10.5 (released Oct 2007) and 10.6 (released Aug 2009) were amazingly well documented. I also think it was eventually suppose to be documented more so that others could use it (like me).Īpple changed directions between 10.6 and 10.7.

This is just a guess, but it looks to me like emond was meant to be a full featured notification system that was conceived around the same time as launchd and the Apple System Logger (ASL), both which were introduced in 10.4. I have been able to figure a little about how emond works and it just has the same plist configuration driven feel of launchd. There is also the text '(for now.)' tacked onto an explanation, indicating that some functionality is likely to change in the future, a change that never occurred.

There are variables that are declared but not used and even a whole subroutine that isn't used (it was used in 10.8 and below). There are sections that were commented out in 10.9 with mention that the functionality was replaced by the audit mechanism and it's still the same in 10.11. Second, a supporting script at /usr/libexec/ looks sloppy. I've seen this myself but because of the lack of documentation and my lack of understanding of what it was I fixed it with a restart. Doing a websearch for emond brings up many webpages of people who have trouble with emond either taking 100% of the processor, either crashing (and restarting over and over thanks to launchd), or it fills up the system.log file with messages. There are a few things that imply this tool has been neglected by Apple. There is very little documentation about this command (a short man page, a half a page in the 10.6 Server Admin guide, and a mention in a Peachpit book). It was added to regular OS X in 10.7 (2011). I think it was added to OS X Server around 10.5 (2007). It is an OS X command located at /sbin/emond. The name emond is short for Event Monitor Daemon. So I got on one of those tangents and figured out so much that I felt compelled to write it down so that when I forget it all I can find better documentation if I ever wanted to use it again.

I found that emond does basically the same thing and found little documentation about it (but enough that I could figure out how to use it). I've been struggling with my log scanner that emails and sends SMS texts and I wondered if there was a better way.

So, please check your extensions if you find you have specific keys that don't work. Note: Many keyboards are unable to process certain combinations of keys due to hardware limitations known as ghosting.Īlso, please be aware that some browser extensions can disable or override Phaser keyboard handling.įor example, the Chrome extension vimium is known to disable Phaser from using the D key, while EverNote disables the backtick key. See _KEY_DOWN for details.įinally, you can create Key objects, which you can also listen for events from. You can also create a generic 'global' listener.

For example, this will listen for the space bar: Use the following from within a Scene: ('keydown-A', listener). For example, to listen for the A key being pressed Unlike the ANY_KEY_DOWN event, this one has a special dynamic event name. This event is dispatched by the Keyboard Plugin when any key on the keyboard is pressed down.
