10.4: Force use of launchd for upgraded installs
Authored by: stingerman on May 15, '05 08:22:22PM

I followed your instructions on both my iBook and PowerMac G5 and I don't know if something is wrong but everything is a lot snappier! Boot up time is super quick and apps in general seem to be on adrenaline. Is that possible?

Too, instead of "sudo mv /etc/xinetd.d* /etc/xinetd.d.bak/" did you mean:

sudo mv /etc/xinetd.d/* /etc/xinetd.d.bak/ (notice the additional "/" in the first parameter).

I upgraded to Tiger and followed the instructions given in the hint. Indeed, my system seems snapier now. Very good! Thanks. :)

...likely he does mean xinetd.d* as this will get the xinetd.d directory and also the conf files etc.

Why not just...

mv /etc/xinetd.d /etc/xinetd.d.bak

...to simply rename the entire directory without having to make a new backup directory first?

Good catch. The extra slash means only the contents of /etc/xinetd.d/ get moved - though I don't think moving the xinetd conf files will harm.

Rob, could you ammend the hint?
