I'm need to write a startupitem or daemon which manages a pool of

guidelines as to when to use StartupItems v.s. a daemon process. Can
anyone give me some feedback or point me at a document?
In fact you need both: a daemon and a Startupitem;
StarupItems are just a fancy way of starting daemons, much like the
startup scripts in /etc/rc.d/ or /etc/init.d/ in Linux
Just take a look at the StartupItems Apple ships with OS-X (e. g.
Apache) in /System/Library/StartupItems/
