Correct. It has no affective action on launched daemons. > What it did was prevent them from being loaded after a reboot--which if I > understand correctly it no longer does. No, not that exactly either. Prior to 10.6 it prevented them from being loaded when luanchd rescanned the plists, which occurs on more occasions than just a reboot. But since you had no control over this it wasn't very good, hence the new database and methodology. Now it's deterministic and better controllable. But whining over the old methodology is misguided and silly. The new operation is a great improvement. -d ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dan Shoop [email protected] GoogleVoice: 1-646-402-5293 aim: iWiring twitter: @colonelmode _______________________________________________ MacOSX-admin mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-admin
