launchd does not allow you to configure dependencies. You may try to play with KeepAlive. As I remember, if you just set it to true, it will restart your job after 10 seconds if it's exited with exit status of non-zero. On 01.12.2012, at 9:33, Cabel Sasser <cabel@panic.com> wrote:
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
