I then noticed that the script (and any daemons it might start up) was running as root. Ungood.

I also filed a bug, suggesting that Apple add a startup parameter (e.g., RunAs) that would set the username; the default should be nobody.
In your script, execute the real command using su, eg:
su peter -c '/usr/bin/perl /Users/peter/perl/check-services.pl' &
I'd like to hear this one too - I've found that my Startup scripts are very unreliable (ie, they seem often to either not execute, or execute at the wrong time such that they fail - basically the daemon does not end up running after a reboot). Some detailed info on the StartupParameters.plist might be helpful.P.S. Is there any other documentation to recommend on Startup scripts?
Enjoy,
