     Apple changed a few things in Yosemite that affect all versions
     of Rush 103.05 and older. (This includes all the 102.* releases)

     So if you plan to upgrade to Yosemite *contact me by email*,
     and I can supply you a simple yosemite.sh script that you will need
     to run to adjust your Rush install to work properly on OS X 10.10.x

     These issues will be fixed in 103.06 (the next release of Rush) on up,
     now that I know what the issues are.

     Note that in Yosemite, Apple changed OS X such that it..

	1. No longer supports /Library/StartupItems/.
	   They use /Library/LaunchDaemons now, which is similar in effect
	   but different in configuration.

	2. No longer supports /etc/hostconfig
	   The file doesn't exist by default, and anything you put there is ignored.

	3. No longer supports /etc/launchd.conf
	   They dropped this apparently for 'security reasons.

	4. Has a bug in the Finder that causes invoked applications to receive
	   environment variables with multiple settings, which confuses C library
	   calls like putenv() and getenv(), causing the apps not to be able to
	   modify their PATH properly. I reported this as a bug, and Apple has
	   "confirmed" it (by telling me it's a duplicate of another bug report).

     This, among other things were changed in OS X 10.10.

     But I can tell you #1, #2 and #4 affect Rush directly from operating
     without the help from a script I can supply you. That script fixes the
     problems that the above changes cause:

     #1 prevents Rush from starting after a reboot.
     #2 prevents the rush installer from running (it balks when it can't find /etc/hostconfig)
     #4 causes the Rush gui tools (like irush, onrush, rushtop) to show 'rush: command not found'
        errors, and not operate correctly.

     So contact me for the script
