Run Perforce P4D server as a daemon
Authored by: castiron on Nov 15, '04 09:47:10PM

I have not tried but the OS X recommended way to run a server daemon is to creat a startup script under /Library/StartupItems. That should take care of your permition issues and allow you to monitor your server through the OS tools and auto restart it if it dies. It also allows for startup dependencies and clean shutdowns as well as trigering backups of your pfdb.

Startup items is deprecated, according to the Apple docs. Also, it appears, you need to have support for startup and shutdown functions though these could be done via a shell script.
