[Buildbot-devel] Buildbot and launchd

[Valtteri Vuorikoski]

The launchd plist given in the wiki doesn't seem to work properly on  
Leopard (10.5.5). While it starts the processes, they apparently still  
lose their security context and become unable to do DNS lookups. I  
have used the following plist succesfully with 0.7.9:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd 
">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>StandardOutPath</key>
	<string>twistd.log</string>
	<key>StandardErrorPath</key>
	<string>twistd-err.log</string>
	<key>EnvironmentVariables</key>
	<dict>
		<key>PATH</key>
		<string>/opt/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin</string>
		<key>PYTHONPATH</key>
		<string>/opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages</string>
	</dict>
	<key>GroupName</key>
	<string>daemon</string>
	<key>KeepAlive</key>
	<dict>
		<key>SuccessfulExit</key>
		<false/>
	</dict>
	<key>Label</key>
	<string>net.sourceforge.buildbot.master.test</string>
	<key>ProgramArguments</key>
	<array>
		<string>/opt/local/bin/twistd2.5</string>
		<string>-no</string>
		<string>-y</string>
		<string>./buildbot.tac</string>
	</array>
	<key>RunAtLoad</key>
	<true/>
	<key>UserName</key>
	<string>buildbot</string>
	<key>WorkingDirectory</key>
	<string>/Users/buildbot/master/test</string>
</dict>
</plist>

This version also causes the process to run in foreground so it will  
be properly restarted by launchd if it crashes. Could someone else  
test this? If it works for others, I could add it to the wiki.
