Lastly, StartupItems are on their way out, and unless you're seeking compatibility with pre-Tiger (10.4) systems, you'd be better off using a launchd plist.

launchd doesn't have daemon dependency support, last I checked.

Nope! I also found what seems to be a documentation bug. If you're using it for one-shot spawn and forget items, the equivalent of "cmd &" in /etc/rc, you have to disregard all of the warnings about closing file descriptors, et al., because if you don't close out file descriptors for your daemon processes, launchd hangs waiting for them to "complete". -s _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
