I still don't understand where you think that all this code that has to be added to applications to "check dependencies" comes from.
I am under the impression it's expected to come from application maintainers.
But at any rate, the first assertion you make here is manifestly nonsense; the system is largely bootstrapped (and will be more largely bootstrapped as time goes on) by launchd.
Yes. And since 10.4, getting even fairly trivial daemons started at a time when the system provides the services they need is annoying, and following the instructions given in the man page can wedge a system permanently at a blue screen. I didn't say it was impossible; I said I didn't think it's a "good tool". It's obviously possible to do the bootstrapping that way; I just don't think it's a very good tool for the job. -s _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
