Ok, understood. The trouble is, ntpdate is failing then, and I have no way to get the date set to 1969. Any attempts to do so via GUI, drop it back to current date. I can shove it to some other date, but ntpdate does not error when run.
It's probably overkill, but as a last resort you might try inducing a panic. To do so, I'd create a simple kext and have it do something "bad." Then, when you're ready to panic, simply do a kextload.
How can I mimic from an interactive shell exactly what launchd is doing, so I know I am on the same page?
I've found the source to be a pretty good place to get answers: svn co https://svn.macosforge.org/repository/launchd/branches/Leopard/launchd launchd David
