How can I run an application (Letter Rip Pro) when OS X Server 10.3.9 starts up?

You don't. You have user apps start as login items when a /user/ logs in.

The application runs when I log in as a user. I want it to run without logging in as a user.

It depends on the application. If ti requires a user session or UI then it probably isn't going to run without a login. Often people see this as the difference between a "application" and a "service".


The best, yet nasty, solution to this sort of thing is to have the server autologin as a non-admin user and have the screen lock.

Sounds like Letter Rip is an Carbon or Cocoa Application that requires a user session to run.


However, LetterRip is just a mailing list manager (and as I recall a pretty poor one at that), and OS X Server includes the vastly superior Gnu MailMan for this already. Letter Rip's bounce processing was always poor as I remember, and the whole operational process was clumbsy.

Check out MailMan, you already have it and it's far superior.
