What version of OS X are you running?

The reason I ask, is that there is a different mechanism that replaces /Library/Startupitems in Panther.

I'm using MacOS X Server 10.2.8.

I added both Aolserver and Postgresql to the one StartupItem.  This seems to do the job, as I am able to start PostgreSQL before Aolserver.

There is something called watchdog in MacOS X Server Jaguar, which allows processes to be respawned.  I haven't worked out how to use this feature just yet.  But it sounds like something I would want to use.
