<<and the related question with startup script issue http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28544413/start-firebird-service-under-osx-yosemite>>
> I am downloading Yosemite now. Hmm - everything looks fine if you install SuperServer directly, i.e. SuperServer starts without a problem. But on reboot - it doesn't start automatically as it should. Going to /Library/StartupItems/Firebird and running ./Firebird start will start the server assuming that the files needed are there. But I assume if you install Yosemite without reinstalling Firebird then the StartupItems directory does not exist anymore, so a reinstall will be necessary, and manual startup on reboot. A search tells me the following: Startup Items Deprecation Note: Startup items are a deprecated technology. Launching of daemons through this process may be removed or eliminated in a future release of OS X. Which is obviously what has happened. This is followed by "Unless your software requires compatibility with OS X v10.3 or earlier, use the launchd facility instead." Which is currently what Classic does. I am going to have to redo how SuperServer starts, to be compatible with Yosemite (10.10) Regards Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
