Abstract:
A method in a daemon process to intercept operating system messages in an informational processing device comprising the steps of:executing a daemon process running in a background of a multitasking operating system, wherein a parameter flag for a print confirmation message is initialized into the daemon process at startup using at least one of an initialization file and a defined default parameter setting, the daemon process comprising the sub-steps of: waiting for an operating system message; determining if the message corresponds to a previously selected operating system message wherein the operating system message is the print confirmation message; wherein if the message is the print confirmation message and the parameter flag for the print confirmation message is set, then the daemon process intercepts the print confirmation message from being displayed on an user interface; and wherein if the message is the print confirmation message and the parameter flag for the print confirmation message is not set then the daemon process will not intercept the print confirmation message to be displayed on the user interface.
