James,
I've got the startupitems documented as best I can. http://geeklair.net/new_macports_guide/#reference.portfile
But I have one remaining question. How could I pass parameters such as "-d 10 -t 600" to a startupitem.executable? I'm not sure how to do that.
I'm pretty sure that if you specify this like: startupitem.executable mybinary -d 10 -t 600 that it will work correctly. In other words, don't do the following: startupitem.executable "mybinary -d 10 -t 600"
Also, I think the portfile.7 man page needs to be split up because it is getting so big. I propose splitting portfile.7 into four parts. What do you think?
I guess I'm open to this. I'd love to hear comment from others, however, And would there still be a portfile.7 manpage that gave general overview and gets people started? James
