See Apple's article you quoted on "Creating a Startup Item." It seems to imply that you can still create a startup item, but that launchd is preferred. And it gives further references. The real problem is that a fresh installation of 10.6 will not contain a StartupItems folder, so it would need to be created. I've been playing with the script, trying using StartupItems and trying (using Lingon) creating a launchd item. I've almost certainly done something wrong, as I can see (from Activity Monitor) that sleepwatcher is running, but there's no log. As I haven't switched off the way I am currently preventing sleep, I've no idea if the script is working. I won't have time for a while to do much further checking. I run Squeezebox Server at login, not boot so I'm not sure quite how it works. Lingon is an easy way of creating the relevant launchd plist. -- danco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
