The proper way to handle such startups in OS X (prior to Tiger) is
to create a StartupItem. There's articles at AFP548 about this if
you can't be bothered to read the Apple supplied docs (part of the
Developer installation.)
What do they mean by "legacy way"? I thought that the
"StartupItems" was the correct/official way to manage MacOS X
service startup.
Many may recall a thread I started back when Panther shipped that the
StartupItems were being deprecated. There was much debate at that
time over what that meant. But it was clear at that time (to me at
least) that new method for launching services on demand in Panther
existed, register_mach_bootstrap_servers. It appears Apple has
adjusted the docs since that time to be a bit more forceful in their
meanings.
Ask again tomorrow night.
