Re: getting tor to start at boot on mac osx

I looked through the console logs, and couldn't find any errors relating to tor. I'm kind of new to this osx (and unix) stuff.

Here's a snippet of the system.log around where I see the privoxy start:

I don't see anything having to do with the Tor startup script. I'm wondering if it's trying to start before the network is up?

	Otherwise, if in console, sudo -s, can you start Tor manually
	without errors?  "/Library/StartupItems/Tor/Tor start"?


Yes, starts up with no problems.
