The Tiger WO startup item script logged standard error and out to /var/log/webobjects.log, but launchd swallows this output by default. To mimic the Tiger WO startup item behavior using the above launchd config files, add the following keys and values:

<key>StandardOutPath</key>

<string>/var/log/WebObjects/webobjects.log</string>

<key>StandardErrorPath</key>

<string>/var/log/WebObjects/webobjects.log</string>

Because /var/log isn't writable by appserver, the user under which wotaskd and JavaMonitor run, /var/log/webobjects.log can't be created by wotaskd or JavaMonitor. I suppose that you could

sudo touch /var/log/webobjects.log

sudo chown appserver:appserverusr /var/log/webobjects.log

but for me, it was safer to

sudo mkdir /var/log/WebObjects

sudo chown appserver:appserverusr /var/log/WebObjects

which will then allow wotaskd and JavaMonitor to create and write /var/log/WebObjects/webobjects.log whenever necessary without manual intervention.

Aloha,

Art
