Project: Bypass
File: BypassController.m
Description:
BypassController does all the work of the Bypass program. It checks the options specified on the command line to see what action is to be taken, and then does it. The purpose of Bypass is to temporarily disable the NeXTSTEP Dock, to keep any applications on the Dock from being autolaunched when a user logs in. The dock will then be reenabled when they log out.
Bypass operates by setting the DockLaunchFlags preference setting of the Workspace. This settting controls which of the applications on the Dock will be autolaunched; by setting it to 1, nothing but the Workspace will be launched when the user logs in. The actual setting is stored in Bypass' preference settings, as is restored when the user logs out.
Bypass can only perform properly when set up to run as the user's login and logout hooks. See the man pages on loginWindow, and the NeXTSTEP Admin reference manual for more info on this. Optionally, you can use the LoginHook and LogoutHook programs, also by Jeremy Slade, to help you do this.

/*
This method is the 'main loop' for Bypass. It checks the command line parameters, accessed through the NXArgc and NXArgv globals, to see what it is supposed to do. Bypass can take one of two actions: Enable the Dock, or Disable the Dock. The usage for Bypass is: "Bypass [ Enable | Disable ]". This method will actually loop through all command line parameters looking for either "Enable" or "Disable". When one is found, the action variable is set to either DISABLE_DOCK or ENABLE_DOCK, and the appropriate method is then called to perform the action. This returns the return value of the action method, or 1 of no action was taken.

This method disables all of the autolaunched applications in the dock, by setting the Workspace's DockLuanchFlags preference setting to 1. It stores the originally setting of the flag in its own preference owned by Bypass, so that it can be restored later by -enableDock. The dock is only enabled if one of the mouse buttons is depressed. It will wait for a period, determined by BUTTON_WAIT, for the mouse button to be pressed.
