Install Service on Mac OS X 10.5.1

Classic Servoy
1

Hi all,

I know this topic has been discussed in length many times in this forum and I’m sure that the advice given is appropriate, but i can’t get it to work.

I have three iMac’s on a local network. I am using iMacA as the server. I am trying to get Servoy to run as a service on that computer. I am running Mac OSX 10.5.1 on all machines.

I know that I’m probably just not getting something, but any help at this point would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

And what do you want help for?

  • which tools you use?
  • is your file correct?

etc…

Thanks Marcel, for replying.

Following instructions in the ServoyServer3_5_1AdminGuide, I created a launch agent in my Home/Library/LaunchAgent folder titled “servoy.plist”. It is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Label servoy server OnDemand Program /Applications/Servoy/servoy_server.sh ProgramArguments

/Applications/Servoy/servoy_server.sh

RunAtLoad

ServiceDescription
launch item of the servoy server

Next, i changed the following line in the “sybase.config” file.
-ud -ti 0 -x tcpip{dobroadcast=no} -qs -qw -o sybase_db/sybase_log.txt

Next, i added the following line to the “servoy_server.sh” file.
cd /Applications/Servoy

It still doesn’t start the service when i restart the computer.

Thanks again for your help.

Do you see an error?

Do you startup Sybase with the server shell file…

Hi all

I am sorry that it has taken so long to get back to this.

Scott, thanks for the tip but i could not get it to work on my system.

Marcel, your question about the server shell file is what led me in the right direction. I let Lingon do its magic with the server shell and everything works fine. As a matter of fact it works GREAT!!

Thanks for all the tips and answers that i have found here.

Have a great day.
