In the original bacula plist file for launchd from bacula sources there is this entry: > <key>Sockets</key> > <dict> > <key>Listeners</key> > <array> > <dict> > <key>SockServiceName</key> > <string>bacula-fd</string> > </dict> > </array> > </dict> That tells launchd to realize an on demand run like inetd does in historical unixes. I did not find anything in Apple's documentation on why this should prevent communication from bacula-fd outside to bacula-sd, but it does. Without this entry (and with added KeepAlive and RunAtLoad entries) it works fine. Is that something the developers should have a look at? I am unsure whether to file a bug report or not. Maybe there is sense in this I do not see.
