+This is a launchd item for Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server.
+For more information about launchd, the
+"System wide and per-user daemon/agent manager", see the launchd
+man page, or the wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launchd
+
+This launchd item uses the following flags:
+--keep-in-foreground - this is crucial for use with launchd
+--log-queries - this is optional and you can remove it
+--log-facility=/var/log/dnsmasq.log - again optional instead of system.log
+
+To use this launchd item for dnsmasq:
+
+If you don't already have a folder /Library/LaunchDaemons, then create one:
+sudo mkdir /Library/LaunchDaemons
+sudo chown root:admin /Library/LaunchDaemons
+sudo chmod 775 /Library/LaunchDaemons 
+
+Copy uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist there and then set ownership/permissions:
+sudo cp uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/
+sudo chown root:admin /Library/LaunchDaemons/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
+sudo chmod 644 /Library/LaunchDaemons/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
+
+Optionally, edit your dnsmasq configuration file to your liking.
+
+To start the launchd job, which starts dnsmaq, reboot or use the command:
+sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
+
+To stop the launchd job, which stops dnsmasq, use the command:
+sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
+
+If you want to permanently stop the launchd job, so it doesn't start the job even after a reboot, use the following command:
+sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
+
+If you make a change to the configuration file, you should relaunch dnsmasq;
+to do this unload and then load again:
+
+sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
+sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
