If you are using the macintosh carbon version of the VM, you can set LSBackgroundOnly=YES and then starting the VM will make it run headless as a background process.  Also see -headless as a cmd option

Hello All,

Does anyone run Pier headless on Mac OS X? I saw the nice tutorial here:

http://www.piercms.com/doc/deploy

But it only deals with starting up the VM and not how to close it gracefully when the entire server reboots.

I'm thinking of something along the lines of using "systemstarter" in Tiger or "launchctl" in Leopard. These both automatically issue a "start" and "stop" script. For example:

sudo systemstarter start "WebObjects Services"

or

sudo launchctl start com.apple.webobjects.wotaskd

Thanks,
-- Aaron
