#38495 closed defect

cassandra can't be started using launchctl — at Version 2

This appears to be due to at least 2 different bugs.

Firstly there's this one #34221.

java -version hangs in some circumstances if __CFPREFERENCES_AVOID_DAEMON=1 is not set. This is fixed by adding 

    <string>env</string>
    <string>__CFPREFERENCES_AVOID_DAEMON=1</string>

to the LaunchDaemon plist.

The next problem is (I think) that the /opt/local/share/java/cassandra-1.2.2/conf/cassandra-env.sh script requires /usr/sbin/sysctl but the $PATH it's running in under launchd doesn't have /usr/sbin/.

Manually setting the $PATH in the plist again fixes this but it seems like there's probably a nicer way to do that...
