I ran a Mac OSX buildbot for the community buildbots for awhile but never did figure out at the time how to get it to fire up on reboot. That was a few years ago. I think today that would easily be accomplished with an @reboot crontab entry. Dunno if that was available way back then, but it's certainly supported on Mac OSX now. launchd might be a better bet - <http://bit.ly/ahwvTk>.

Exactly, launchd is the program intended for such use. A small nitpick at that property list shown in the linked example: It should be "Apple" now instead of "Apple Computer". They officially changed the name and all the new developer documentation shows the property lists with "-//Apple/DTD ..." :-)
