After eyeballing that, I think I have no hope of reproducing your test conditions unless you show me the exact script and property list files you used. In particular, I was wondering if the problem could be related to launching the postmaster in advance of some system service it needs; without seeing the Requires/Uses specs you gave, there's no way to know what might have happened. BTW, that page also references this Apple document saying that StartupItems are being obsoleted: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/macosx/Conceptual/BPSystemStartup/Concepts/BootProcess.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20002130/CJBBICAB However, they should still work as of 10.3.*, so that's just an interesting tidbit for the future. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
