Memcached StartupItem For Mac OS X

Here is an OS X StartupItem for memcached...

/Library/StartupItems/Memcached/StartupParameters.plist 

{
  Provides        = ("Memcached");
  Description     = "Memcache Daemon";
  Uses            = ("Network");
  OrderPreference = "None";
}

/Library/StartupItems/Memcached/Memcached

#!/bin/bash
#
# /Library/StartupItems/Memcached/Memcached
#
# Script to startup memcached with OS X. Tested on 10.4 Tiger
#
# To enable, copy this file and StartupParameters.plist to
# /Library/StartupItems/Memcached and add "MEMCACHED=-YES-"
# to /etc/hostconfig ... You can then reboot or execute 
# "sudo /sbin/SystemStarter start Memcached" from a terminal
# to start it up.
#
# I should mention that this file uses my preferred development 
# settings. You can edit them before copying this script over 
# or they can be overriden by creating a config file named 
# memcached.conf in /etc, /opt/etc, or /usr/local/etc with the 
# following contents (modified to suit, of course):
#
#   MEMCACHED_EXE=/usr/local/bin/memcached
#   MEMCACHED_PIDFILE=/var/run/memcached.pid
#   MEMCACHED_MAX_MEM=128
#   MEMCACHED_INTERFACE=127.0.0.1
#   MEMCACHED_PORT=1121
#   MEMCACHED_RUN_AS=nobody 
#
# ------------------------------------------------------------------- 
# NOTE: Memcached < 1.2.0 has issues specifying the interface via the
# '-l' switch on the Mac for some reason so if the service fails to 
# start with the following error:
#
#    bind(): Can't assign requested address
#    failed to listen
#
# then you will need to either upgrade to version 1.2.0+ or forgo
# specifying an interface to listen on by removing the references
# to A_INTERFACE on lines 65 and 75 of this script.

Also, don't forget to chmod 755 Memcached

The script above fails for me on restarting memcached, so replace if PID=$(GetPID ${NAME}); then with PID=$(GetPID ${NAME}); if [ $? = 0 ]; then and it works for me.
