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. -- Finlay _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
