The 12th most popular operating process on Mac OS X

Share
The SystemUIServer is a background process that controls several aspects of the Mac OS X user interface, and is one of the applications that are constantly running, when viewed with the Activity Monitor. Specifically, it controls the right hand side of the Menu bar, where the Menu Extras live, as well as handling application launch following CD or DVD insertion, and handling external devices, such as the iPod.

    A background application that does it's job well enough to not be noticed. I have no complaints.

    It's the equivalent of Windows' System Tray...erm...Notification Area. Serves its purpose even when Finder decides to take a hike. World the way it's supposed to 99.99% of the time.

    Well I guess its good - it seems pretty essential to OS X.

  • samaaron devotee

    Without it there'd be no OS X UI, so I guess I'm grateful it's running in the background. Not sure why Wakoopa cares about it though.

    I've gotta say, the window server is more my style, but the SystemUIServer is an essential part of OSX, i.e. the system will not run if I end the process.
