Instant: Running MoinMoin Wiki As Deamon on Mac OS X with launchd

Using MoinMoin Wiki on Mac OS X can be a little bit more elegant by using the Mac OS X launchd service. I wanted to start the MoinMoin standalone wiki server on my Mac only if I needed it – meaning I only want to start MoinMoin if I access a wiki page through my browser. So here lauchd comes in action. Detailled information on launchd and it’s PLIST-Format is given at the Apple website .It’s a service which combines standard UNIX services like crond, inetd and the init loading mechianism.

So how to achieve the automatic on-demand start-up of MoinMoin.

Open a console (Terminal) and create a launchd .plist File in one of the launchd startup directories:

sudo vim /Library/LaunchAgents/in.moinmoin.wikiserver.plist

The content of this file should be (assuming you extracted the MoinMoin archive to /Applications/moin):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
 <dict>
 <key>Label</key>
 <string>in.moinmoin.wikiserver</string>
 <key>ProgramArguments</key>
 <array>
 <string>/Applications/moin/wikiserver.py</string>
 </array>
 <key>Sockets</key>
 <dict>
 <key>MoinMoin</key>
 <dict>
 <key>SockFamily</key>
 <string>IPv4</string>
 <key>SockServiceName</key>
 <string>8080</string>
 </dict>
 </dict>
 <key>RunAtLoad</key>
 <false/>
 <key>OnDemand</key>
 <true/>
 <key>LaunchOnlyOnce</key>
 <true/>
 </dict>
</plist>

If you want to launch your configuration now (at next system startup it’s done automatically) just enter:

launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/in.moinmoin.wikiserver.plist
