Help with Starting OFBiz automatically on Startup [OSX 10.13.2]

[Sean Turner]

Hi,

I'm trying to get OFBiz to launch on login, but I am having some issues. I
am following the steps outlined in the below link for OS X 10.4+. I am
running OSX 10.13.2.

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/How+to+
run+OFBiz+as+a+Service

running "launchctl list | grep ofbiz" on startup yields no output.

running "sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.ofbiz.plist"
tells me that the service is already running.

running "./gradlew "ofbiz --status"" from the obfiz.16.11 directory tells
me that OFBiz is down.

My plist file is below.

Please advise. Thank you!

Sean

Hi Sean,

Is "my_user_name" literally present in that file? If so, change the
WorkingDirectory setting to the location of your ofbiz.16.11 folder.

Cheers

Hi Paul,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Unfortunately my_user_name is not
literally present, I changed it from my actual user name for probably no
reason :)

All the best,

Sean
