rundeckd when OSX boots

[David Portabella]

according to this page:

http://rundeck.org/docs/administration/startup-and-shutdown.html

to start rundeck, I need to do as follows:

export RDECK_BASE=/Users/david/bin/rundeck

$RDECK_BASE/server/sbin/rundeckd start

what is the proper way to configure OSX to start rundeck when the system boots?

Hi David,

I haven't tried this yet but the correct method to use is  launched: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystemStartup/Chapters/CreatingLaunchdJobs.html

Since launchd doesn't like processes that daemonize themselves, you would need to make a variation of rundeckd that does not nohup and fork the process into the background.  

Also the file redirection should be done in the launchd plist file rather than inside the start up script. It is also suggested to state the sockets used in the Listener section of the plist.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks

Hi,

I didn't manage to make it work yet.

I get either a "nohup: can't detach from console: Inappropriate ioctl for device", or a "fg: no job control".

(I still need to put it in background for a moment, just to get the pid)

see the modified script for launchd:

any idea?

regards,

David
