(RADIATOR) Mac OS X Questions

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Marcel -

I am running Radiator here on MacOS X and there are lots of customers 
out there using MacOS X as well.

I have just had a look at the boot support, and I think you will want 
to set up something in this directory:

	/System/Library/StartupItems/

We generally recommend using restartWrapper, as it will restart 
Radiator automatically if it falls over, and it will also send you some 
email containing the reasons for the failure and any error messages 
when the failure occured.

I haven't tried the ODBC support yet, but if the Perl DBD-ODBC module 
will talk to it, it should work. I have just had a quick look at the 
ODBC Administrator application, and it looks like it should do the job 
nicely. I will do some testing and let you know. BTW - if this works 
well, it will be a *big* win.

I am not sure how many Radiator users are running MacOS X, however I 
can tell you that the number has been increasing very rapidly recently. 
Everyone I have spoken to about MacOS X has been extremely happy with 
it.

regards

Hugh
