OnDemand has been replaced with KeepAlive, which can be a boolean (inverse of what OnDemand would be) or a dictionary. So I think you should remove the OnDemand and RunAtLoad keys and replace them with:
<key>KeepAlive</key> <dictionary> <NetworkState><true/> </dictionary>
In any case, the NetworkState key is not meaningful except in a KeepAlive dictionary, based on my reading of the man page for launchd.plist.
Thanks for pointing that out. I'll take a look when I have the time and change it.

-- Greetings,
I've created my first launchd script. It's for OpenVPN2. Here are the files I've created so far:
devo:/opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons root# ls -l org.macports.OpenVPN2/ total 16 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 957 Oct 30 23:06 OpenVPN2.wrapper -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 1026 Oct 30 23:39 org.macports.OpenVPN2.plist
The Wrapper ----- #!/bin/sh
. /etc/rc.common
load() { if [ -d /System/Library/Extensions/tun.kext ]; then kextload -q /System/Library/Extensions/tun.kext; else echo "tun.kext not found in /System/Library/ Extensions/" fi }
StartService() { load; # first load the module if [[ $( kextstat -l | grep -q 'tun' )$? == 0 ]]; then /opt/local/sbin/openvpn2 --config /opt/local/etc/ovpn/ server.conf --writepid /opt/local/etc/ovpn/ovpn.pid --daemon OpenVPN2 /usr/bin/logger "OpenVPN is loaded" else /usr/bin/logger "tun extensions is not loaded." fi }
StopService() { if [[ $( kextstat -l | grep -q 'tun' )$? == 0 ]]; then kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/tun.kext # first unload the module fi
pid=`cat /opt/local/etc/ovpn/ovpn.pid` # get the pid number if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then kill $pid fi }
RestartService() { StopService "$@" StartService "$@" }
RunService "$1"
the .plist which is an: ln -sf /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/ org.macports.OpenVPN2/org.macports.OpenVPN2.plist /Library/ LaunchDaemons/.... ------------------------ <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd" > <plist version='1.0'> <dict> <key>Label</key><string>org.macports.OpenVPN2</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/opt/local/bin/daemondo</string> <string>--label=OpenVPN2</string> <string>--start-cmd</string> <string>/opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.OpenVPN2/ OpenVPN2.wrapper</string> <string>start</string> <string>;</string> <string>--stop-cmd</string> <string>/opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.OpenVPN2/ OpenVPN2.wrapper</string> <string>stop</string> <string>;</string> <string>--restart-cmd</string> <string>/opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.OpenVPN2/ OpenVPN2.wrapper</string> <string>restart</string> <string>;</string> <string>--pid=none</string> </array> <key>Debug</key><false/> <key>Disabled</key><false/> <key>OnDemand</key><false/> <key>RunAtLoad</key><true/> <key>NetworkState</key><true/> </dict> </plist>
However, there are two issues that I can't seem to be able to manage right now.
The first is that OpenVPN does not start at boot while the module is loaded succesfully. When I login to the system and kill daemondo, it relaunches itself and ovpn works fine. I suspect that the problem is en0. Launchd tries to launchd openvpn before en0 comes up. That's why I put the NetworkState keyword, but it does not seem to effect *any* startup script. I had issues with dnsmasq also in the recent past.
The second problem with this script is that when I unload it via launchd it does not kill the process. Launchd unloads the script and (probably) will not be launchd (if -w is added) in the next boot but daemondo keeps running the process nevertheless. Is this a normal behaviour?
I'm not *that* worried about the second. I'd prefer to have a solution about the first one, which is the most important for me.
