Hi Blair, Executable startupitems are the preferred type. Daemondo can track pids automatically and reliably restart an application if it quits. See the guide on this: http://guide.macports.org/#reference.startupitems Given how startupitem executables work, I don't see an advantage to

Hi Mark, I was seeing the following: 1) One dhcpd would start. 2) Every 10 seconds thereafter, another dhcpd would be started, but it couldn't bind to the port since the first one was running. It appears that the startupitem infrastructure wasn't keeping track of dhcpd running and

Hi Mark, The guild says this: startupitem.executable. Specifies the name of the daemon to be run in the background. It may have multiple arguments, but they must be appropriate for a call to exec; arbitrary shell code may not be used. Should the actual daemon remain in the foreground so

Hi Mark, So it looks like the bit magic that got this to work is the -f command, which basically tells dhcpd not to daemonize, which would be a good thing in our case, as the process of daemonizing would look to daemondo or launchd as if dhcpd were exiting, which would cause the
