Hello... I'm thinking of OS X as a Unix user and am doing a bit of research to work out what Apple's attitude is towards its Unix (rather than MacOS 9/8/7) userbase before I make the plunge into Buying A Real Machine.
One thing I came across is several reports of shutdown items (SystemStarter scripts? like FreeBSD's /usr/local/etc/rc.d/blah stop) not actually being executed on system shutdown, so daemons which required a complex shutdown script had to be run shutdown manually.
Is this fixed in the latest OS X (perhaps in Panther?)?
Thanks for your time.
