First, policyd-weight is working EXTREMELY well.
I am running it in daemon mode. The only problem is starting it
automatically after a reboot.
I created a launchd plist and launchd does start the polw daemon,
but on one of the machines (the busy one) it does not connect
properly to the DNS server, causing all the DNS lookups to fail.
Manually restarting polw makes everything work.
To be clear, you are not having this problem on any other OSX
machine on which you are also starting policyd-weight via launchd?
Ok, we have two servers. One is a test server with almost no traffic,
except tests, the other our actual server which processes lots of
messages: About 30,000/day.
My conjecture, which may be totally wrong, is that on the test server
there is ample time for the DNS service to start before test messages
reach it, whereas on the
real server the first child is spawned almost immediately. (Yes logs
below with my comments separated by #### lines). And to complicate,
or simplify, the problem did occur on the test server the first two
times
but now it seems to start correctly. On the main server, it seems to
have this problem every time.
My conjecture is that MacOS is starting it too early in the boot
process, before the DNS service is completely established.
So I need to determine either how to have MacOS start it later or
have policyd-weight check to see if the DNS is working before
starting (and perhaps sleep a bit before continuing -- like
freshclam)
Starting with a reboot:
