StartService () { if [ -x "${WOSERVICE}" ]; then if [ "${PRINTSTARTSTOPMESSAGES}" = "YES" ]; then ConsoleMessage "Starting WebObjects services" fi if [ -e /var/log/webobjects.log ]; then mv /var/log/webobjects.log /var/log/webobjects.log.1 fi #### # OSX Server now has the 'appserver' and 'appserveradm' for security # For Panther Server, wotaskd and javawoservice.sh are owned # by the appserver user. By launch "${WOSERVICE}" -appPath "${WOTASKD}" >/var/log/webobjects.log 2>&1 & # Uncomment the next line to start Monitor #"${WOSERVICE}" -appPath "${WOJAVAMONITOR}" -WOPort 56789 - WOAutoOpenInBrowser NO >>/var/log/webobjects.log 2>&1 & #### fi } On Wed, Nov 29, 2006, Robert Walker wrote: >Robert, > >Take a look at the file here to see how wotaskd is being started: > >/System/Library/StartupItems/WebObjects/WebObjects > >Also it's worth noting that a recent update has changed the >WebObjects deployment startup to use launchd instead of the legacy >UNIX startup system. > >On Nov 29, 2006, at 10:06 AM, Robert Snyder wrote: > >> Sacha and Kieran, >> >> I was searching through the archives and found a tread from March 7, >> 2006 that matched a problem I am having.
