Re: Start squid using launchd on Mac OS X

I figured out the problem. Here's a new plist that works correctly:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple$
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
        <key>Label</key>
        <string>com.startsquid</string>
        <key>Program</key>
        <string>/sw/sbin/squid</string>
        <key>ProgramArguments</key>
        <array>
                <string>squid</string>
                <string>-N</string>
        </array>
        <key>OnDemand</key>
        <false/>
</dict>
</plist>

The only difference is that I added the 'Program' key with the path to
the squid binary. (Fink <http://fink.sourceforge.net/> installs
software in /sw.)

Now squid starts when I log in and restarts automatically if it dies
or gets killed.
