I've just realised a glitch with the setup script on Mac OS X.

It has to be run using sudo. But this requires the user to be an admin
user.

I do not normally run as an admin user, and Squeezebox Server was
installed from my standard user account.

If I switch to my admin account, then the sudoers file does not get
correctly changed (I think, but am not sure about this) and the log file
definitely gets created under the admin user, which is not what's
wanted.

Simplest solution seems to be to add, in the setup notes, that
non-admin users should be set up temporarily as admin ones.

Another solution (if the only issue is with the log file, and not with
sudoers) might be to have two setup scripts, one just for creating a log
file.

I did find SvrPowerControl was doing what I wanted. But a problem
elsewhere in my system forced me to restore from a backup that did not
have the changed sudoers file, so I have to run the setup again.
