Hello,

I am using Mac OS X 10.3.9 Will the above procedure works on my machine?
My ‘StartupParameters.plist’ file is different and it looks like

{
Description = “persistent routes”;
Provides = “PersistentRoutes”;
OrderPreference = “None”;
}

Any modifications..

Regards,
Ravindranadh

Hmm… if you haven’t already added the routes using /sbin/route then try running “sudo SystemStarter start PersistentRoutes” from the terminal. This should add the routes from your /Library/StartupItems/PersistentRoutes/PersistentRoutes file.

I’ve got this running on Mac OS 10.4.8 server and it’s working well. If you add a new route to the /Library/StartupItems/PersistentRoutes/PersistentRoutes file it is not added until you run the SystemStarter command above, or add it manually in the terminal using “/sbin/route add network gateway” (substituting the italicized parts with the actual values).

Hope this is helpful. You can find example files here to unpack in your /Library/StartupItems directory to use as a start.
