Is there any possibility for creating a working LaunchAgent or startup-item?

support/build.sh was added on trunk recently. Exactly how did you get the source onto your machine? Did you pull it directly from trunk? Are you willing to run a server based of "bleeding edge" code that is changing a lot - that is what trunk will do right now. Alternatively, if you prefer a stable release, try checking out CalendarServer/tags/release/CalendarServer-2.3.

I installed it as described here: <http://mac.delta-c.de/node/1387> and with <svn checkout http://svn.calendarserver.org/repository/calendarserver/CalendarServer/trunk CalendarServer> I don't want bleeding edge software, I just want a working CalDav- Server. So I will try to get the stable one as you proposed. Thank you for your answer. Best Regards Ralf

You can start correctly from the command line with no trouble? Have you made a launchd item before? About the only thing you need to be careful about is >> redirection and pipes and such:

appame >> some_log_file.txt appname | grep foo >> some_log_file.txt

Both those are problematic and will need special care.

Otherwise, you jsut take your command that works in the shell, and set it in a plist, set your start schedile etc. Look to Lingon to make it dead easy to make on your own.

I would do something like cd /path/to/DCS; ./run -d That is the command, there will be about 10 more lines to control a few other things, but Lingon can put them all in for you.

Or, as I most often do, use an existing plist as a template, make a copy, and load it in. -- Scott * If you contact me off list replace talklists@ with scott@ *

Yes I could start from command line and I have made a launchd item. After installing the stable version 2.3 I could make the necessary changes to the run script and after correcting the path in the launchd item (~/Kalender/CalendarServer-2.3/) and the permissions now the server starts up when I log in and everything is fine! Thank you very much for your help! Best Regards Ralf
