I have created my first StartupItems.
put it into /Library/StartupItems/myStartupItem

with a start script called myStartupItem and a correctly filled StartupParameters.plist file

when I invoke
$ SystemStrater start myStartupItem

it start successfully.
However when I reboot it doesn't start at all.
Why is it so ?
I'm puzzled, is there other undocumented steps to follow which I missed ?

Have you checked ownership/permissions? Compare these to other startup items. Check directories (folders) too.

Are all dependencies being described in the "Requires property?

You can boot into single user mode and bring startup services up manually to see what is happening. Use -d or -D for debug info.
