You can't generalize like that, however.
I didn't want to.
You might want SOME services to
start immediately (in which case, the RunAtLoad launchd plist item is
probably your friend) but ALL services? No way.
Obviously.
Sorry, but the "server environment" classification hardly guarantees that
each and every service being provided by the server needs to be running all
the time, particularly in SOHO configurations where one box serves
potentially dozens of needs "in theory" but, in practice, finds many of
those needs to be occasional usage scenarios at best.
I'm not dissing launchd, I'm just saying that I have encountered
particular situations where it didn't really seem to be the best
option. In particular, there was a situation where I had to start
Tomcat and a java application which needed MySQL to be running
beforehand.
Now, you could argue that the inadequacies are in MySQL and this Java
application, but I don't necessarily think that's fair.
