4 <title>macOS: Starting the Autostart Service With launchd</title>
5
6 <body>
7 <p>On macOS, launchd is used to start the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> autostart service.
8 An example configuration file can be found in
9 <filepath>/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/org.virtualbox.vboxautostart.plist</filepath>. To enable
10 the service copy the file to <filepath>/Library/LaunchDaemons</filepath> and change the <codeph>Disabled</codeph>
11 key from <codeph>true</codeph> to <codeph>false</codeph>. Furthermore replace the second parameter to an existing
12 configuration file which has the same format as on Linux, see <xref href="autostart-linux.dita#autostart-linux"/>. </p>
13 <p>To manually start the service use the following command: </p>
14 <pre xml:space="preserve"># launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.virtualbox.vboxautostart.plist</pre>
15 <p>For additional information on how launchd services can be configured see: </p>
16 <p><ph>http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystemStartup/BPSystemStartup.html</ph>.
