Hey,
I have a server app that I need to to start when the computer runs. To start it in terminal I would type
sudo ~/.bridge/server start
I had a look at the docs re Daemons and Agents and wrote a .plist of my own to start the process but it does not seem to be working. This is the .plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd>">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.getbridge.bridge_server</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/Users/MacbookPro/.bridge/server</string>
<string>start</string>
</array>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<true/>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
Am I doing something wrong and if I need to ask this question somewhere else then please let me know. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Cameron Mc Gorian
Hey Guys,
We're launching our own httpd via a launchd file on startup.
However, here's the result:
Nov 30 17:26:54 posh com.panic.httpd[120]: httpd: bad group name web
If we "launchctl start" this same file a few seconds later, it works fine! So it appears that httpd is trying to run before Open Directory or something has fully loaded all of the user/group data…?
What's the best course of action for us? Is there a way to delay a launchd item, or wait, or anything? We're tired of manually starting apache every time the server reboots. :)
(Attached find the .plist file in question.)
Thanks,
Cabel
