Darwin-kernel mailing list (Darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/darwin-kernel/site_archiver%40lists.a... I was looking for some information, documentation and our examples of installing a kernel driver, maybe with using PageMaker, because I have a user application to install at the same time. I would like the KEXT to start each time the MAC machine is started, like some of the existing KEXT, i.e. IPFirewall, SharedIP. I did read some thing about creating a ‘startup item’ for the NKE, but did not find any good documentation. FYI my KEXT is a NKE  Can anyone point me in the right direction for some of this information? 1. Don't use PageMaker, use PackageMaker. It will work better (though the layout will be a bit different). Be aware that your StartupItem hierarchy will need to root:wheel and 755 (or 644). 2. There is a HOWTO Darwin documentation on StartupItem and Kernel Extensions: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Conceptual/KEXTConcept/ index.html This makes me discover the "Packaging Scientific UNIX software for Mac OS X" documentation at http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Conceptual/howto/ packaging_unix_for_darwin/packaging_unix_for_darwin.html is obsolete as softrak has been down for 2 years or so.. But IMHO, just have a look at the IPFirewall one on a 10.1 or 10.2 OS X machine and modify it to do what you want. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
