How do I start IDS upon boot on OSX 10.5?

I'm trying to start IDS CS3 upon system bootup, which worked just fine by adding a StartupItem under 10.4.
However, under 10.5, this no longer works.
Anyone have any suggestions whatsoever, I'm happy to try them out, as long as it doesn't involve always logging in a user...

Interesting. We have written a script that we place in /Library/StartupItems which works just fine under 10.4, but under 10.5, we get errors indicating that it's trying to access the UI session and isn't signed.
Have you changed your system configuration in any way to circumvent this? Or am I just missing something fundamental here? I do have lot's of sysadmin experience with SunOS and Linux, but very little when it comes to BSD and OSX, so it's plausible I'm going at this the wrong way.
If you post your script, I'm happy to try it and see if it works for me and learn from any misstakes I've made in my setup.

  • Installed Boot Camp; my external display isn't recognized upon boot in2 OSX

    Man... Apple should really allow more characters in the Subject line. Here's a fuller subject:
    "I installed Boot Camp and now my external display isn't recognized and receives no video upon booting into OSX (10.5.8)"
    Unplugging and replugging the monitor resolves the issue until the next reboot. Had no issues prior to the installation of Boot Camp. (Windows 7 works really well, btw. I've had no issues there amazingly).
    Has anybody seen this before and could point me towards the light? Thanks in advance,
    Dave

    I'd just like to add that this no longer works with OS X Lion 10.3.8 either...  Get your **** together Apple.  It's called MacBook "Pro" for a reason.

  • How do I start service at boot?

    Hello,
      I am relatively new to arch, so I have played with it since .3 on and off but never as a server.  Right now I can start mysql, httpd and exim just fine, but they don't seem to be starting up at boot time.  How do I fix this?
    Thanks,
    mrjohnston

    Hi mrjohnston,
    You have to add an entry for each daemon in the DAEMONS array in the file /etc/rc.conf.  If you add "exim" (for example) to the DAEMONS line, the file /etc/rc.d/exim will be executed, and that should get it started at bootup.
    Cheers.

  • How do I start slapd at boot time in leopard?

    Greeting,
      Forgive me if this is the wrong forum/community.
      I want to start slapd at boot time on my new leopard upgrade.  On tiger, it was as simple as having an LDAPSERVER=-YES- line in /etc/hostconfig.  That does not seem to work for leopard.  I can run slapd from the command line.  I needed to make changes to the slapd.conf tiger version and reload my database, but all is working fine.  I just have not been able to get the deamon to start at boot up.  It must be simple.  Any ideas?
      Thanks,
    --Linn

    Texas Mac Man,
      Thanks.  Slapd is the OpenLDAP daemon (server) delivered with MacOS, even Client.  No, starting at the user level is not what I need.  I can already do that in a terminal window with /usr/libexec/slapd, after I get su'ed to root.
      Think Unix, not iApps.  When the system boots up, there should be scripts available to start specific daemons.  I am looking for hints there.
    BDAqua,
      Thanks.  I had seen that first discussion before.  It deals with slapd failing when it tries to start on MacOS Server... where all these daemons indeed start at boot time.  I am just trying to figure out how to do in leopard what I successfully did in tiger, namely start /usr/libexec/slapd at boot time.
      And note, this is not an issue with slapd failing due to slapd.conf or database problems.  All works fine from the user lever start.
      Thanks,
    --Linn

  • How to automatically start postfix on boot?

    I often need postfix to send e-mail. To use postfix I need to start postfix everytime manually via the Terminal commandline.
    I would like to have postfix to be started automatically with booting.
    Is this possible in Mac OS X Snow Leopard? How can it be done?

    There is already an org.postfix.master.plist file in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
    I had an old copy of Postfix Enabler from http://cutedgesystems.com/ but didn't appreciate having to buy a new program when Leopard came out, so I rolled my own. Here is my edited org.postfix.master.plist:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>org.postfix.master</string>
    <key>OnDemand</key>
    <false/>
    <key>Program</key>
    <string>/usr/libexec/postfix/master</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
    <string>master</string>
    </array>
    <key>QueueDirectories</key>
    <array>
    <string>/var/spool/postfix/maildrop</string>
    </array>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    This will enable you to send mail. You can setup your Mac to receive mail too, but that is a bit more involved.

  • [SOLVED] How do I start scripts at boot up?

    I've been looking around for awhile and can't find a way to auto-start scripts I've written in the console (the only ways I've found are for older systems using /etc/rc.local, but my system doesn't have this file.  The only things I've found for systemd are about starting daemons.  I'm not running a desktop environment on this system nor do I plan to (I'm using this machine as a server), so I can't put the scripts in a directory that auto-starts them like I can in KDE (and even then, I think that's only auto-starting them after login; I need these scripts to run without need of logging in).  And since my scripts aren't services I can't use "systemctl enable" to make them start at bootup.
    Does anyone know how to start scripts when the system boots?

  • Problem starting X upon boot startup!

    Hey guys... odd issue starting up... lately (and out of the blue)... i cant get into X to see LXDM follwed by XFCE4.
    I initially now start off at the console and have to login in that way... when i start lxdm or xfce4 manually.. i see the following:
    Fatal server error:
    Server is already active for display 0
        If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
        and start again.
    then if i then if i remove the lock file...and try again... this is what i see:
    _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
    _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running
    Fatal server error:
    Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running
    Now if i use the following command as root:
    pkill -9 X
    then try logging in again... it works.... at least until the next reboot.
    Any suggestions on firmly resolving this issue?
    Regards,
    Last edited by GameOver69 (2013-06-13 22:39:00)

    Then of course you are going to get error messages when you try to start X saying that X is already running. That's because X is already running. Reboot, and when you get thrown to the VC, run (as root)
    journalctl -b
    Which will give you systemd's output since last boot. Scroll down a lot until you see output about LXDM. You should see error messages.
    Alternatively, you could skip the reboot and just do
    sudo journalctl | grep lxdm
    (Which will search through your ENTIRE journal) Or look through ArchWiki: Systemd#Journal to find something better.

  • How safe does password protection upon boot make x200?

    Assuming it is sufficiently complex, what does it  protect against? What measures do you take to have your data additionally safer?
    I noticed some time ago that the fingerprint protection original software sometimes gave a poor impression of security. Do you use it? Maybe there is alternative software?

    That's right, but there is a performance price to  be paid. I am interested 1) what kind of protection this boot password gives and 2) if other users make use of this fingerprint protection.

  • Should all apps start up upon boot up?

    When I power up my iPad 3 , should all the apps automatically activate and show up as active at the bottom of the screen? An Apple Store guy told me they would not. If not, how do I stop this from happening? Thanks in advance.

    The iPad keeps the last state of each app run stored in memory. The apps that are shown at the bottom of the screen when you double click the Home button are those apps whose last used state has been saved. This info is not purged when you power off. If you want to purge all of them try a reboot of your ipad.
    Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.

    How do I keep Firefox automatically starts when I boot up (OSX 10.6 .8 -- MacBook Pro Intel). It is not in the Startup Items in System Preferences, and automatic startup is not checked in Firefox Options.

    Hi fullrun-
    Once Firefox is open, you should be able to open the Right click context menu on the icon. From there you select 'Options' and then de-select 'Open at Login'. Hope that helps.

    i bought windows 7 download online and started setting up boot camp but it says to insert the windows 7 disk so how do i do this?
    plz help me

    Hi Jaimie,
    To install Windows via Boot Camp you will need to have a copy of Windows on a physical dvd disc.
    If your purchase provides you with an ".ISO" file then you can simply burn this to a DVD and then follow the standard Boot Camp installation instructions.
    Boot Camp instructions: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
    If you get stuck, just let me know the website you purchased Windows 7 from and I might be able to help you out.
    Cheers

  • How do I start on boot with linux?

    Hi,
    I'm running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga). How do I start the weblogic server on boot? Can I just put in the startWebLogic.sh from the /opt/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/adf2_domain/bin directory into init.d? Is there another script somewhere that I can use for this? I've searched and searched for this to no avail.
    Thanks,

    You may also need to auto-start your nodemanage process(es). So that if your machine restarts, nodemanager will start and then ( if you have CrashRecoverEnabled=true in your nodemanager.properties file ), nodemanager will start your managed servers for you.
