Hey all,
I'm trying to run a script on startup to launch a daemon, and I can't
figure out how to make it work. I've faithfully followed
instructions on OReilly and other known valid sources, with no
success. There must be some voodoo I'm missing.
In terminal I can just type it out:
fetchmail --fetchmailrc /etc/fetchmailrc -d 500 --nosyslog --nodetatch
I've tried creating an executeable script in BBEdit, complete with
the #!/bin/bash and chmod +x, and all it does is open in BBEdit.
This one has to run as a non-root user. I've got another that needs
to run as root.
I've tried to do the launchd thing, and keep getting user mismatches and such.
I tried startup items in earlier versions of OSX.
Any pointers? Thanks in advance.
