Hello,

I have a mac mini G4 that acts as a server on my home LAN offering services (dns, http, AFP, etc).

I've installed dnsmasq but I don't know how to make launchd start dnsmasq on boot. I understand that this has something to do with launchd but I could not find any documentation on how to do it.

My second issue is that when I've installed lighttpd, I did a quick configuration on the lighttpd.conf in order to make it work. I copy and paste at the terminal the command line in order to start the demon via launchd at boot something like this:

sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/ org.macports.lighttpd.plist

Now the problem is that while, I can clearly see that lighttpd doesn't bind any port(!) is running and apparently every time I kill the process it starts by itself, so at this point I don't have control over this. How can manage this situation? I want to configure it first and the put it at startup. Here's what I'm talking about:

devo:/opt/local/etc atma$ ps auwx|grep -i lighttpd
root 23921 0.0 0.1 27956 780 ?? Ss 6:57PM 0:00.01 / opt/local/bin/daemondo --label=lighttpd --start-cmd /opt/local/etc/ LaunchDaemons/org.macports.lighttpd/lighttpd.wrap atma 23937 0.0 0.0 27812 4 p4 R+ 7:05PM 0:00.00 grep -i lighttpd
devo:/opt/local/etc atma$ sudo lsof -i|grep -i lighttpd
Password:
devo:/opt/local/etc atma$


Thank you for your time in advance,

regards
