Re: StartupItemContext & Darwin 6.x



In Darwin 6, you can ssh in to the machine as root and start the daemon. In Darwin 6, ssh connections did not get put into their own bootstrap subset context, and used the context of the master sshd, which was the root bootstrap context.

I believe executing SystemStarter on the command line will use the login context by default, which is the reason StartupItemContext was invented.

These commands have no equivalent in Darwin 6.x, they were introduced in Darwin 7.x.

Event though StartupItemContext compiles on Darwin 6.x, it may require support from mach_init which isn't present in that version (this is just speculation).

Is it possible to get the same behavior by running:

SystemStarter -v start TheServiceName

then?

The How-To in the Darwin documentation (and the man page of SystemStarter in 10.2.8) is not really clear on the context. Would it be a StartupItem context (bootstrap) or another one?

So basically, there is no way in Mac OS X 10.2 to cleanly kill a bootstrap process and relaunch it.


The only solution is to restart the computer, isn't it?
