Re: how to autostart tor on osx?

[Hideki Saito <hidekis@gmail.com>]

Same as yours...did you put it in /Library/StartupItems/Tor ?

/Library/StartupItems/Tor/StartupParameters.plist
/Library/StartItems/Tor/Tor

It will not work unless you actually put in "Tor" directory. (In other
word, "Tor" file inside this archive must match with directory name.

After you install, what will have if you do:
sudo /Library/StartupItems/Tor/Tor start?
