Well…. I agree with Enrico, mostly.
Installation: Yes you need sudo privileges to write to /Library/LaunchDaemons. You also need sudo to write to /usr/local/… which is as far as I know, the current place to put system wide user programs. I could be wrong as I haven’t been keeping up. Execution: Yes, as far as I know you only need sudo for writing to /var/run/ooRexx.pid. The port bound by rxapi ( 10010? ) is out of the range requiring sudo authority to bin.
