Write a script that launchd launches that runs your first program. When that program script submits the other programs to launchd via 'launchctl submit'. Since we haven't put anything into /Library/LaunchDaemons launchd places, we get the same effect as using /var/run, so everything is always launched in the correct order each time we reboot. That's kinda what I did... I ended up writing a daemon which was connected to launchd, starts up and does all the initialization stuff. It then actually manages some of the other processes and they all communicate over a unix socket. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

No, it's a proper launchd daemon. It communicates via its unix domain socket and is pretty much on-demand for that. However, it manages 2 other daemons as well so if they're set to launch-on-start it starts and launches and monitors them. smime.p7s
