10.4: Play with the fake startup progress bar
Authored by: bdog on Jun 28, '05 07:38:55PM

1 nice thing that I miss is the name of what service is loading. It can be handy seeing what service may be hanging the boot process. But it's half irrelivent now that all services start at the same time (although it would be sweet if the name of a service appeared of it failed loading, or was hung up)

In order to boot up so fast, I *suspect* that many services are started in the background, rather than the foreground. So it might not even start hanging until after you log in =)

I'm referring to the items in /System/Library/StartupItems , which DO load before you log in.

And don't forget all the
[/Library]/System/LaunchDaemons/* and [/Library]/System/LaunchAgents/*

They start up as defined in the .plist files, so some will probably start at boot.

When you log in, all your ~/Library[StartupItems|LaunchDaemons|LaunchAgents]
start.

How the hell do you get linebreaks or carriage returns in text mode in this damn forum!!!!!!!
