Re: Headless on Mac OS X

Stop the presses! I got it working :-) Sorry for cross posting. I'll write it up in more detail later, on my own Pier installation even! But here's the rough notes at the moment: 1) I'm on Mac OS 10.4 Tiger on Intel 2) I downloaded the Pier 1.2 one-click install from www.piercms.com that is running on Pharo VM I believe 3) I enabled LSBackgroundOnly = true in the "info.plist" file inside the .app bundle resources - The purpose of this is to not let the app startup in the dock... I had somehow missed this before because my dock is normally hidden. 4) Needed to use "-headless" option as that is the only one that works with this vm. The -vm-display-null option does not work. Here's the command I use to load into launchd: sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.squeak.seaside.plist (That also shows the path to where I put the custom plist file in for launchd). Below is the contents of the launchd plist file <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http:// www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Disabled</key> <false/> <key>Label</key> <string>com.squeak.seaside</string> <key>OnDemand</key> <false/> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/Applications/Smalltalk/Pier-1.2.app/Contents/MacOS/Squeak VM Opt</string> <string>-headless</string> <string>/Applications/Smalltalk/Pier-1.2.app/Contents/Resources/ pier.image</string> </array> <key>ServiceIPC</key> <false/> <key>StandardErrorPath</key> <string>/Library/Logs/com.squeak.seaside.log</string> <key>StandardOutPath</key> <string>/Library/Logs/com.squeak.seaside.log</string> <key>UserName</key> <string>root</string> </dict> </plist> Again, I'll write more later, and clarify once I get Pier set up on the desired server Mac. Thanks everyone, -- Aaron
