Hi, I'm using squid on Mac OS X 10.4. OS X includes a new program called launchd that is supposed to replace cron, RC, xinitd, and other methods of controlling what runs when. [1] My problem is that I can't get it to start squid automatically at boot.
I created a minimal plist like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>com.startsquid</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>squid</string> <string>-N</string> </array> <key>OnDemand</key> <false/> </dict> </plist> And saved it as ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.startsquid.plist Then I load the job with launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.startsquid.plist and squid starts. If I kill squid, it gets restarted automatically. That's just what I want. But, when I reboot, squid doesn't start. Any ideas? Thanks for your help, Steve Hoelzer ------------------------------------------ Footnotes: [1] Excellent intro to launchd: http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20050620071558293
