How do I start OM as a daemon/service on Mac OSX

[Robert Chalmers]

I’d like OM to start itself up each time I have to restart the system. Is there 
a ‘nice’ way of doing this?
thanks
Robert

Ok,

Roberts-Mini:StartupItems robert$ sudo ln -s /Users/robert/Openmeetings/red5.sh 
red5.sh
Password:
Roberts-Mini:StartupItems robert$ pwd
/System/Library/StartupItems
Roberts-Mini:StartupItems robert$ 
ls -l
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  34 12 Nov 09:06 red5.sh -> 
/Users/robert/Openmeetings/red5.sh


That will start it up when the system restarts, but it’s still not a Daemon. 
hmm. I will maybe look at setting up a plist file.



Based on the http plist file maybe. in
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons

called, 
org.apache.httpd.plist



http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>


Disabled

Label
org.apache.httpd
EnvironmentVariables

XPC_SERVICES_UNAVAILABLE
1

ProgramArguments

/usr/sbin/httpd
-D
FOREGROUND

OnDemand





I’ll try that later. Thanks Maxim.
