Is this a mistake? YoYo (Yosemite) does not allow or support StartupItems.

MySQL 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7 all require a StartupItem.

Hmmm.....

Wow you folks are making me jealous. In my environment I have Casper all to myself. I mean it too. The JSS, MySQL, FileShare... etc. All mine. So, because I'm an old Mac head and JAMF supported Mac "Server", I ended up starting out running everything on two Mac Pro's with a super fast RAID and SAS drives attached. While I would love to have a data center team, I'm not that lucky (or am I?). Even though I'm comfortable running this all of this from Linux/Windows (CJA was great BTW) I keep falling back to the fact that this is all supported to run on the Mac OS. This way I can fall back on my support team at JAMF just in case. Believe me, I've certainly had to in the past.

Every time I end up thinking about the benefits of separating my Casper components and virtualizing I end up realizing that I'd be personally taking on managing a whole new server architecture that I don't really have time for. So, I've got to put my hand up for the easy, self supported play-skool model. I follow the instructions and color in the lines. It may be a balancing act but it works and works well.
