Yaws startup on MacOS X / Darwin

Doing `make install' as root will create a `Yaws' StartupItem in /Library/StartupItems.

By default, yaws startup is disabled. To enable it, edit (as root) /etc/hostconfig and add the line

YAWS=-YES-

Yaws startup can be disabled by changing the line to

YAWS=-NO-

Yaws will start automatically on reboot. You can manually test the startup without rebooting by issuing the command (as root) in a terminal window

$ SystemStarter start Yaws

Stop the server by issuing:

$ SystemStarter stop Yaws

Reload the server with the command

$ SystemStarter restart Yaws
