I thought some of the OS X folks might like to see the script I have been using to startup FreeSwitch so I added it to the wiki, been testing this for a year now: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_and_Setup_on_OS_X#Create_the_Fr... From the last post: Posting here for interested parties and in case someone searches for OS X here. I finally completed the long over due major update to my original OS X FreeSwitch installation guide from Oct 2010 which had 16,725 hits since then (surprised me). Sorry about the delay but it was a lot of work testing and "life events" got in the way, also some FreeSwitch bugs had to be squashed first. So it took months instead of weeks. I changed the main install Guides to point to the new OS X page. Oh, yes… every single OS X step was tested as well as all the links in the pages since many were updated. FreeSwitch prerequisites are much easier to install on OS X than in 2010!
