I think I originally wrote this plist file. In the old make process the ‘make install’ would tailor the file for the current install location (i think).
There was some discussion around this file and the rxapi process on MacOS. The problem stems from the MacOS architecture for daemons doesn’t like daemons that fork and exec when starting. The launch daemon looses connection to them. With the KeepAlive attribute the launch daemon thinks that the process rxapi has stopped/failed, so every few seconds it tries to restart the rxapi process. You can see this in the system log. I had re-written the rxapi code with MacOS conditionals, and these changes were rejected, because the whole process was scheduled to be re-written. As a work around, one user suggested that since the rxapi process rarely ever fails, that the KeepAlive attribute is unnecessary, and can be set to false. Bruce > On May 23, 2017, at 5:37 AM, Rony G.
