Most of Apple's daemons are BSD based, and thus don't really care what Mach bootstrap port namespace they launch in. Strangely from what I've seen on 10.2, I observed different communication abilities whether you were launching a daemon from the user or startup context. This got fixed in 10.3 IIRC. Which ways are the not recommended to start in the startup context? The one I'd recommend, especially for relaunching a daemon, is "/usr/libexec/StartupItemContext" <x-man-page://8/StartupItemContext>. It looks 99% perfect. The 1% left is that it's not available on Mac OS X 10.1.x but this is not a huge issue IMHO. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
