However, my StartupItem still works perfectly in Tiger and Leopard. Here is the code: ==== BEGIN ==== #!/bin/bash ## # Privoxy ## . /etc/rc.common PRIVOXY_PATH=/usr/local/sbin PRIVOXY_PIDFILE=/var/run/privoxy.pid PRIVOXY_USER=privoxy PRIVOXY_CONFIG=/usr/local/etc/privoxy/config PRIVOXY_LOG=/var/log/privoxy.log StartService () { if [ -x ${PRIVOXY_PATH}/privoxy ]; then if ! pid=$(GetPID privoxy); then echo "Starting privacy enhancing proxy" ${PRIVOXY_PATH}/privoxy --pidfile ${PRIVOXY_PIDFILE} --user ${PRIVOXY_USER} ${PRIVOXY_CONFIG} >> ${PRIVOXY_LOG} 2>&1 fi fi } StopService () { if pid=$(GetPID privoxy); then echo "Stopping privacy enhancing proxy" kill -TERM "${pid}" else echo "privoxy is not running." fi } RestartService () { if pid=$(GetPID privoxy); then echo "Restarting privacy enhancing proxy" kill -HUP "${pid}" else StartService fi } RunService "$1" ==== END ==== Please feel free to use this in the official distribution of privoxy. contact me: mar...@ya... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: pornel (pornel) Date: 2007-11-14 07:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=269973 Originator: NO On Leopard this command seems to do the trick: sudo dscl localhost -create /Local/Default/Users/privoxy and then you have to correct permissions in /Library/Privoxy to let privoxy read config, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: pornel (pornel) Date: 2007-11-14 06:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=269973 Originator: NO AFAIK Leopard had scrapped old netinfo manager, so installer needs to use a different method for creating users (or just use nobody). BTW: I couldn't find user/group setting in config. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Hal Burgiss (hal9) Date: 2007-11-07 06:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=322640 Originator: NO I am not familiar with the osx installation scripts, but a typical privoxy installation has a user named 'privoxy' that it runs as, so as not to run with root privileges. You can of course create a privoxy user, or you can privoxy as another user that exists on the system (eg 'nobody'), to workaround this problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=111118&aid=1827316&group_id=11118 |
