#22570: startupitems - No RunAtLoad setting ? ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: dreamcat4@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.8.1 Keywords: | Port: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by dreamcat4@…): BUT RunAtLoad generally doesn't play nicely with Daemondo. It's all to do with forking and listen ports. Launchd can't hand over the TCP port / sockets its listening in on to anything other than the process it launched. So uh-oh! Running daemondo will *not* work. Period. Launchd must perform certain process - port - handover to the newly launched process, and daemondo doesn't know anything about TCP port / unix socket to hand over. Just running the command directly will solve such problem entirely. So to use effectively by a startupitem template we need an alternate non- daemondo template. Currently all startupitems templates use daemondo. This would have to change for allowing some bare command running in the generated plist file. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22570#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Use Sockets / WatchPaths / QueueDirectories keys for setting OnDemand status. That's a more complex area. Until then please use the patch. This patch will make the "port load" command persistent across reboots. Update base and re-install ports to take effect. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22570#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
