For good measure, the wotaskd.plist in LaunchDeamons is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://
www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Disabled</key>
<false/>
<key>GroupName</key>
<string>appserverusr</string>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.webobjects.wotaskd</string>
<key>OnDemand</key>
<false/>
<key>Program</key>
<string>/System/Library/WebObjects/JavaApplications/wotaskd.woa/
wotaskd</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>wotaskd</string>
<string>-WOPort</string>
<string>1085</string>
</array>
<key>ServiceIPC</key>
<false/>
<key>UserName</key>
<string>appserver</string>
</dict>
</plist>
Again, looks like it should be starting up as appserver.
