Airport and Error running StartupItem
Authored by: leono on Feb 01, '05 08:51:27AM

Hi, all. I agree that the System Prefs method is much easier, but it doesn't work if you're using an Airport connection. For some reason, it won't let you duplicate the Airport interface.

I wrote the scripts, changed the interface to en1 for Airport, set the perms, and tried to start it with SystemStarter. When I do, I get the following output:

Gooch:/Library/StartupItems/NetworkAliases leon$ sudo systemstarter start NetworkAliases
Welcome to Macintosh.
Initializing network
Exec failed for item /Library/StartupItems/NetworkAliases: No such file or directory
Network IP Address Aliases (4662) did not complete successfully.
The following StartupItems failed to properly start:
/Library/StartupItems/NetworkAliases - execution of Startup script failed
Startup complete.
Hangup

Anyone have an idea of how to resolve this? Thanks!

Give us an ls -l of your NetworkAliases directory.

You should make the script executable:

chmod +x <filename>

I may have omitted that from the discussion above.
