 Save this launchd configuration to a file named "localhost.trac.plist".  Put it on the desktop for now.  You'll copy it to a more appropriate location in the next step.
 
+Note:
+{{{
+OnDemand <boolean>
+     This key was used in Mac OS X 10.4 to control whether a job was kept alive or not. The default was
+     true.  This key has been deprecated and replaced in Mac OS X 10.5 and later with the more powerful
+     KeepAlive option.
+}}}
+
+So if you're running 10.5 and later, you should replace OnDemand by KeepAlive. Also notice that the meaning are opposite of each other: OnDemand True should be translated by KeepAlive False.
+
+Tip:
+Once you're done with your changes, avoid wasting a lot of time due to ill formatted files, and validate your plist:
+{{{
+plutil -lint org.edgewall.trac.plist
+}}}
+
 === 2. Install the plist file in a !LaunchAgents directory. ===
