I have created a Startup Item for macos x server 10.3.9 that invokes a shell script to start a python process. The startup item is called but the script fails.
For anyone who read my query and wondered "yeah, what is the solution to that"...
Gary Perez provided the solution I needed: system daemons and mach_init.d.
I don't think mach_init.d is part of the public "API". Why don't you use a StartupItem? My guess is that /usr/bin/env picks up the wrong python. What happens when you change you PATH to be the same as your interactive shell?
You can read his page regarding Webware for details. Scroll to the bottom of his page. Worked perfectly. <http://mmh.neurobashing.com/ webware/panther.html>
BTW, I failed to specify in my post that I was concerned with system services, not user level startup behavior.
