launchd plist for Mac OS X needs cleanup
----------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-501
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-501
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Infrastructure
Affects Versions: 0.11
Environment: Mac OS X 10.6, Snow Leopard
Reporter: Per Ejeklint
Priority: Minor
The provided org.apache.couchdb.plist for launchd contains the flag OnDemand
set to true, as well as KeepAlive. OnDemand was deprecated in 10.4 and replaced
by KeepAlive which is much more powerful. As a result, launchd will NOT restart
CouchDB on Snow Leopard after it has been stopped with launchctl stop
org.apache.couchdb, as is stated in the README. A manual start or reboot is
needed.
Solution: just remove the OnDemand tag from the plist and all is happy happy
again.
As a side note: if on-demand loading is really what's wanted, launchd needs
more information. There must be information about which socket launchd should
monitor, and keeping that in sync with the port number people choose for
couchdb seems just way too much work.
