but the best way is just to modify the system starter script for witango, then use the SystemStarter command to start | stop | restart witango.
I don't remember the syntax, so someone can correct me or help
sudo SystemStarter start WitangoServer5
or
sudo SystemStarter stop WitangoServer5
or
sudo SystemStarter restart WitangoServer5
I have found that to be the cleanest way to start and stop the witango service during development, cuz it uses the witango startup script, and makes sure witango is running in the right environment.
Please forgive me, I don't remember if WitangoServer5 is the right name for the service, I don't have it installed on this machine. It is something like that, and the command, and the name are case sensitive.
You can do this with any service, but the service(script) must support start | stop | and restart, which witango does, if I remember.
usage: SystemStarter [-vxdDrqng?] [ <action> [ <item> ] ]
<action>: action to take (start|stop|restart); default is start
<item> : name of item to act on; default is all items
options:
-g: graphical startup
-r: do not quit when done, keep running until notified from ConsoleMessage
-v: verbose (text mode) startup
-x: safe mode startup
-d: print debugging output
-D: print debugging output and dependencies
-q: be quiet (disable debugging output)
-n: don't actually perform action on items (pretend mode)
-?: show this help

Don't expect an all opensource free solution to work as promised. Save your time, pay openlink and report bugs, and since openlink sits on top of iODBC, you won't have an issue if apple gets its act together, since they also use iODBC.
If you do install OpenLinks SDK just remember you have to tell the Witango Server to use it. This is done using the Startup script and the witango configuration variable ODBCDMLIBRARY. The default for ODBCDMLIBRARY is the Apple installed iodbc located here: /usr/lib/libiodbc.dylib
You will also need to make sure the LD_LIBRARY_PATH are set correctly in the startup script located in /Library/StartupItems/Witango_5.5/Witango_5.5
Just remember it may be a Mac but with odbc you need to work out what you are installing where and which version of the library an application is loading.
