having programs launch on reboot

[Puneet Kishor]

Hi all,

Perhaps a basic question. When I type the following

	$sudo port load apache2
	org.macports.apache2: Already loaded

The above is just an example... I get the same for mysql5-server or any other servers. Yet, the program doesn't start up when I reboot the machine. Is there something I have to do to ensure that programs start on their own when the computer is rebooted? For what its worth, I noticed the following in the apache2.plist

	<key>Debug</key><false/>
	<key>Disabled</key><true/>
	<key>KeepAlive</key><true/>

Nothing there about running them on reboot. However, another plist (vmware.plist) has the following switch

	<key>RunAtLoad</key><true/>

Is that incantation needed, or something else needed to ensure that programs such as apache2, postgres, mysql, etc. start up when the computer starts?

Many thanks in advance,
