AGL Application Launcher service reference implementation

applaunchd is a simple service for launching applications from other applications. It exposes an interface named 'org.automotivelinux.AppLaunch' on on the D-Bus session bus and can be autostarted by using this interface name.

This interface can be used to: - retrieve a list of available applications - request that a specific application be started by using the 'start' method - subcribe to the 'started' and/or 'terminated' signals in order to be notified when an application started successfully or terminated

For more details about the D-Bus interface, please refer to the file data/org.automotivelinux.AppLaunch.xml.

Applications can be started either through D-Bus activation (using their D-Bus name) or by specifying a command line to be executed, and are monitored until they exit. Please note applaunchd allows only one instance of a given application.
