(RADIATOR) Launching Radiator on OSX 10.4

[Matt Richard]

Hello,

Apple introduced launchd in OSX 10.4 (Tiger) to handle system daemons.
http://developer.apple.com/macosx/launchd.html

I wrote a config file to launch radiator on a 10.4 system.  Place the 
contents below into a file called "au.com.open.radiator.plist" and 
save this file in the folder "/Library/LaunchDaemons"/.  This example 
assumes that radius.cfg is your config file, and it's located in 
/etc/radiator.  But you can change that easily.

Radiator will be launched automatically at boot time and whenever 
radiator dies or is killed.

To start the service, issue the following command in a terminal 
window (as root):
launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/au.com.open.radiator.plist

Top stop the service, use this command:
launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/au.com.open.radiator.plist

Here's the stuff.  Feedback, etc appreciated. Enjoy!
