LaunchDaemon. A LaunchAgent is per GUI-login session, a LaunchDaemon is global. This goes in /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.tahoe-lafs.tahoe.plist (or other appropriate reverse-DNS identifier, with matching Label value): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>GroupName</key> <string>staff</string> <key>Label</key> <string>org.tahoe-lafs.tahoe</string> <key>OnDemand</key> <false/> <key>Disabled</key> <false/> <key>UserName</key> <string>tahoe</string> <!-- adjust to appropriate existant user --> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/usr/local/bin/tahoe</string> <!-- adjust to install path --> <string>run</string> <string>--basedir=/Users/tahoe/.tahoe</string> <!-- adjust to appropriate user/basedir --> </array> <key>EnvironmentVariables</key> <dict> <key>LC_CTYPE</key> <string>en_US.UTF-8</string> </dict> </dict> </plist> Note the use of "tahoe run", as a LaunchDaemon must *not* daemonize itself or it will appear to have died and be in need of restarting. > I've been saying forever that it's too hard/slow/inconvenient to get periodic > repair to run automatically (cron jobs are soo gross, and suffer from the > same energy-barrier problem). Don't know what's wrong with cron jobs. crontab -e, add a line, done. 30 2 * * * ~/bin/tahoe-repair-all #!/bin/sh export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 perl -e 'sleep rand() * 86400' for item in `tahoe list-aliases | cut -f 1 -d :`; do echo '*** '"$item" tahoe deep-check --repair --add-lease $item: | perl -pe 's/^/\t/' echo done These are the tools I use. I would be pleased if these, equivalents, or improvements were included with Tahoe instead of being my private tools. -- Kevin Reid <http://switchb.org/kpreid/> _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list [email protected] http://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
