DisOrder on OS X
================
-The server builds on OS X. However the kernel panics when I run it
-(kernel 8.10.1). Until Apple can provide a stable operating system,
-it is not recommended that you run the server on this platform.
+The server builds on OS X. It is not well tested in this environment.
+Please report successes and failures!
Things you will need to do:
-Make sure that ~jukebox/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/ (or whatever)
-exists and is writable by the jukebox user.
+* Create the jukebox user and group
- mkdir -p ~jukebox/Library/Logs/CrashReporter
- chown -R jukebox:jukebox ~jukebox/Library
+You might find this URL helpful:
-Install server/uk.org.greenend.rjk.disorder.plist into
+http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Porting/Conceptual/PortingUnix/additionalfeatures/chapter_10_section_9.html
+
+* Install the plist
+
+Copy server/uk.org.greenend.rjk.disorder.plist into
/Library/LaunchDaemons. Having done this reload the contents:
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons
Note that the RunAtLoad key has been deliberately commented out, if
-you want to start the server at boot time you must edit this. Given
-that at the time of writing this risks causing boot-time kernel
-panics, only do this if you are feeling brave.
+you want to start the server at boot time you must edit this first.
-To start the server:
+* Start the server
sudo launchctl start uk.org.greenend.rjk.disorder
