Comment(by dreamcat4@…):

 BUT RunAtLoad generally doesn't play nicely with Daemondo.

 It's all to do with forking and listen ports. Launchd can't hand over the
 TCP port / sockets its listening in on to anything other than the process
 it launched. So uh-oh! Running daemondo will *not* work. Period. Launchd
 must perform certain process - port - handover to the newly launched
 process, and daemondo doesn't know anything about TCP port / unix socket
 to hand over. Just running the command directly will solve such problem
 entirely.

 So to use effectively by a startupitem template we need an alternate non-
 daemondo template. Currently all startupitems templates use daemondo. This
 would have to change for allowing some bare command running in the
 generated plist file.
