daemondo is great for things that don't quite fit into the launchd way of things (eg., you need to run a script to startup and stop the service, the service insists on detaching itself so launchd will think it died, you need to perform an action on a system configuration change [restart-netchange, restart-wakeup, restart-dist-notify ...]). we can (and maybe should) transition to not using it in cases where it doesn't add value, though (which would be when we're using startupitem.executable without startupitem.pidfile or startupitem.netchange) -- Daniel J.
