Service Showing "Not Responding" in Activity Monitor Despite Running Threads.

I am encountering an issue with my application, BloxOneEndpoint.pkg, which includes two services:

rc_service_infoblox – Runs as the root user. Controller Application – Runs as a normal user. Although a thread within rc_service_infoblox is running fine and performing its expected tasks, I notice that the service appears as "Not Responding" in Activity Monitor. Despite normal functionality, this status is concerning, as it may indicate some issue to customer.

I would appreciate any insights into why this might be happening and how to resolve it. Is there a specific API or mechanism I should use to ensure the service remains in a "Running" state in Activity Monitor?

Thank you for your guidance.

Activity Monitor shows (Not Responding) when the process is connected to the window server and isn’t handling window server events. If rc_service_infoblox is running as root, it shouldn’t be connecting to the window server, and thus you should never see this flag.

How is rc_service_infoblox being launched?
