Running VServer Office...

[Mr. Bart Pietercil]

Hi All,


I would VERY much like the VServer to be launched through Launchd. If  
I understood correctly this is the only way to make sure that when a  
VServer goes down he automaticly gets restarted. This is the way  
Apache works and in my opinion should be the way on OSX that all  
servers should be treated.
Of course using Login Items is NOT the way to go. When a server needs  
to be restarted all its services need to be launched without the need  
for somebody to log in.


Hoping....

Bart Pietercil
