From: Ernst Blofeld on 27 Jan 2006 14:51 OS X 10.4 server--I've got web logs turned on, but it's not starting, and I can't figure out why. OS X Server includes blojsom, a Tomcat-based webapp for blogs. Launchd is supposed to be starting it at boot; there is a com.apple.blojsom.plist in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons (see bottom of post). This is box-stock from the install. /var/log/system.log and asl.log shows blojsom is not starting: System.log: Jan 27 11:17:59 foo launchd: com.apple.blojsom: will restart in 10 seconds Jan 27 11:18:11 foo launchd: com.apple.blojsom: respawning too quickly! throttling Jan 27 11:18:11 foo launchd: com.apple.blojsom: too many failures in succession asl.log: [Time 2006.01.24 22:50:41 UTC] [Facility launchd] [Sender launchd] [PID -1] [Message com.apple.blojsom: respawning too quickly! throttling] [Level 4] [UID -2] [GID -2] [Host There are no obvious errors in /Library/Tomcat/logs or the blojsom webapp logs.

This kind of error indicates that the launchd configuration says that the program should start up and keep running, but that the program is actually exiting (almost immediately, from the look of it). If launchd has been told that the program should keep running, it will attempt to restart it. If the program keeps exiting, launchd will eventually give up on it. Your launchd plist includes this: <key>OnDemand</key> <false/> It indicates that the job should be kept continuously running. Not having used 10.4 server, I couldn't say why this is happening to you. -- Tom "Tom" Harrington Macaroni, Automated System Maintenance for Mac OS X.

Yes--in fact it starts up from the command line, though it does not handle authentication to login into the blogs--the I/O for the password prompt looks like it's going to the command line. (I removed the "java" string on the theory that the program is already fully specified and you don't need to provide it as a commad line argument; in either case the blojsom process does not start.) foo:/System/Library/LaunchDaemons root# /Library/Java/Home/bin/java -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/Library/Tomcat/common/endorsed -classpath /Library/Java/Home/lib/tools.jar:/Library/Tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar -Dcatalina.base=/Library/Tomcat/blojsom_root -Dcatalina.home=/Library/Tomcat -Djava.io.tmpdir=/Library/Tomcat/blojsom_root/temp org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start Starting service Tomcat-Standalone Apache Tomcat/4.1.29-LE-jdk14 Jan 27, 2006 12:45:29 PM org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket init INFO: JK2: ajp13 listening on /127.0.0.1:1279 Jan 27, 2006 12:45:29 PM org.apache.jk.server.JkMain start INFO: Jk running ID=0 time=0/41 config=/Library/Tomcat/blojsom_root/conf/jk2.properties
