Joel et al,
I can’t figure out why StartupManager is reporting this error with every startup:
Jan 4 09:37:04 Centipede SystemStarter: Some startup items failed to launch due to conflicts: <CFArray 0xc740 [0xa01303fc]>{type = mutable-small, count = 1, values = ( 0 : <CFDictionary 0x15320 [0xa01303fc]>{type = mutable, count = 7, capacity = 11, pairs = ( 4 : <CFString 0x17400 [0xa01303fc]>{contents = "Provides"} = <CFArray 0x17270 [0xa01303fc]>{type = mutable-small, count = 1, values = ( 0 : <CFString 0x17290 [0xa01303fc]>{contents = "SMTP"} )} 6 : <CFString 0x850c [0xa01303fc]>{contents = "PathToBundle"} = <CFString 0x17520 [0xa01303fc]>{contents = "/System/Library/StartupItems/Sendmail"} 8 : <CFString 0x172d0 [0xa01303fc]>{contents = "Requires"} = <CFArray 0x172f0 [0xa01303fc]>{type = mutable-small, count = 1, values = ( 0 : <CFString 0x17310 [0xa01303fc]>{contents = "DirectoryServices"} )} 10 : <CFString 0x17240 [0xa01303fc]>{contents = "OrderPreference"} = <CFString 0x17b20 [0xa01303fc]>{contents = "None"} 13 : <CFString 0x17350 [0xa01303fc]>{contents = "Uses"} = <CFArray 0x17370 [0xa01303fc]>{typ Jan 4 09:37:04 Centipede SystemStarter: Startup complete.I figure it’s a conflict between SendMail, something else, and/or Exim. So here are the StartupItems.plists for each:
[Centipede:Library/StartupItems/Sendmail] admin% more StartupParameters.plist { Description = "Sendmail mail server"; Provides = ("SMTP"); Requires = ("DirectoryServices"); Uses = ("Disks", "Network Time", "NFS"); OrderPreference = "None"; }[Centipede:/Library/StartupItems/Exim] admin% more StartupParameters.plist <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Description</key> <string>Exim mail server</string> <key>OrderPreference</key> <string>None</string> <key>Provides</key> <array> <string>SMTP</string> </array> <key>Requires</key> <array> <string>DirectoryServices</string> </array> <key>Uses</key> <array> <string>Disks</string> </array> </dict> </plist>(You should know this one pretty well, Joel!)
I amusing Apple SMTP Mail Service on port 627 and it is instructed to “Start mail server at system startup” (according to Server Settings anyway).
Here’s what’s actually running when it’s all said and done:

Ss 9:36AM 0:00.15 updateSo it’s pretty obvious that Sendmail never starts–it’s not in that list up there, at any rate. And all of the mail services work. And, curiously enough, there’s a line in /etc/hostconfig that explicitly says “MAILSERVER=-NO-“. (It’s almost as if that file’s being somewhat ignored. I’ve never been able to control Exim’s startup-or-not using that file. I’ve always had to comment out the conditional lines in the startup script for Exim.)
I suppose there’s one potential “obvious” problem, but I don’t know if it really is a problem or not: both Exim and Sendmail claim to provide SMTP services, but since they do it on different ports (25 and 627, respectively–provided I am actually controlling Sendmail settings using Server Settings), it doesn’t seem like that should be a huge issue. Since I don’t know where the MailService is controlled, I can’t see if there’s something funky going on there.
And, by the way, the whole shootin’ match works just great, except that every now and then the MailServer stops… and doesn’t restart.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks,
BillI guess the overall question here is, just why is Sendmail trying to start at all? Where do I gain control over that?
Thanks,
Bill
