[launchd-dev] bitlbee - xinetd to launchd

[Dave Zarzycki]

Are you making sure to run launchctl as root?

Once you do, is the job already loaded? Check like so: sudo launchctl  
list | grep org.bitlbee.bitlbee

Also, please remove the KeepAlive key/value pair. It is incompatible  
with the rest of the plist. I suppose we should add a sanity check for  
that... Oh well.

Cheers,
