If I understand rightly my launch script will be launched and then hang around waiting until it can establish a connection with tun/ tap? What sort of time out should a program be expected to provide, to take into account that the dependency might be slow to start, yet at the same time may also be suffering from issues of its own? Are there any source examples available that show how such an application should behave? I've never fiddled with this stuff, but if `twere me, I'd look @ / System/Library/Launch* and see what's there. Then I'd head on over to the Apple developer site and check out the code provided on the Darwin source page. There ought to be something come out of that.
