I saw this problem (or something very much like it) today on a 2008 Mac Pro running Leopard, and not an SSD in sight... so while SSD's make it worse, it can happen in other circumstances.
In what seems to me like an odd decision, given Apple's dependency on it (and hyping of it) launchd doesn't enforce dependencies. The best solution is probably that rather than launching wotaskd and womonitor directly from the launchd plist, instead call a shell script that first checks that the NICs are up, and then launches wotaskd and monitor for you. That shell script can use 'ipconfig waitall' to block until the NICs are up. I haven't done it for WO yet, but I use something similar to set up static routes on my boxes at launch time. Based on that chnk of code (which started life as http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060329085850170 , in the routing context) , I *think* that something like this should work to start them up: #!/bin/sh # We need to trap on TERM signals, according to Apple's launchd docs: trap 'exit 1' 15 # Issue a log message so we know when we started syslog -s -l 1 WOMonitor_start: starting WOMonitor... # Use the "ipconfig waitall" command to wait for all the # interfaces to come up: ipconfig waitall # This is where we start WOMonitor <put your WOMonitor startup command here with any command line args> # Sleep for a while so Launchd won't think we never ran sleep 10 # Issue a log message so we'll know when we finished syslog -s -l 1 WOMonitor_start: Done. # Exit with a clean status exit 0 You should be able to launch that from launchd, instead of womonitor itself.

I have seen this Problem now on several Machines, and found the problem, but think about a fix. Maybe the only way is to fix the Apps Javacode itself... Test Machine was OS X Lion & OS X SnowLeopard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What is going on: The correctway : If the Machine starts * LaunchD starts the Database * LaunchD start JavaMonitor & wotask * wotask will start the Instances * Everybody is Happy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Problem only appears if the Boot disk is a SSD Drive. * LaunchD starts the Database * LaunchD start JavaMonitor & wotask BUT, JavaMonitor and wotask Launches and try to get the Network Interface for making work, the OS Networking isn't setup at that time. The Boot was to fast. Both Apps try for several time, and give up. But running. a Zombi process * wotask can't start the Instances The only way after the Launch is to go to Activity Monitor to kill both processes, LaunchD will boot both again and everybody is happy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Fix 1 : LaunchD Script <- I have no idea if that is possible to say launch at Boot but delayed or so 2. Fix 2 : In the javacode after retry the App and can't get a Connection kill itself, and let launchD boot it again..
