Mark Pauley contributed the two launchd plist files for OS-X (10.4+) to start a buildmaster or buildslave automatically at startup: contrib/OS-X/net.sourceforge.buildbot.master.plist contrib/OS-X/net.sourceforge.buildbot.slave.plist His email message is as follows: Message-Id: From: Mark Pauley To: buildbot-devel Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2007 11:05:44 -0800 Subject: [Buildbot-devel] Sample buildbot launchd plists for MacOS 10.4+ Hi guys, I've had these kicking around for a while and thought that maybe someone would like to see them. Installing either of these two to / Library/LaunchDaemons will cause the bulidbot slave or master to auto- start as whatever user you like on launch. This is the "right way to do this" going forward, startupitems are deprecated. Please note that this means any tests that require a windowserver connection on os x won't work.
