10.3: Information on new process startup mechanism
There is cause for concern here as well, at least if Apple doesn't add a lot more functionality to this mechanism. There appears to be no way of controlling the order of startup. I've created my own StartupItems and use one from a third party. They are all scripts. I suppose that the command could be a path to a script but without a way to control startup order, even Apple's StartupItems would fail. I don't see any start and stop mechanism either. As of Jaguar they hadn't even implemented the StopService half of the StartupItems mechanism. Does anyone know if StopService is invoked when Panther shuts down? Anyway, I had found the mach_init.d directory but not the documentation; thanks for the link.

This won't replace StartupItems. It only changes how daemons are launched and removes them from StartupItems. There are some 'stub' scripts for those that moved, but most of the StartupItems are still quite functional in Panther.

Uhh ... yes. I am using it with no problems. I was referring to the following line from the original hint:
While the startup item mechanism still exists, its use is being phased out over time.While I suppose there is a possibility they are only referring to the use of StartupItems to launch daemons, that isn't what the web page says. |
