Could you give me an example? I would like to create a ram disk when system starts up, so that I can use it as a temp folder. The command is:
diskutil erasevolume HFS+ 'ramdisk' `hdiutil attach -nomount ram://262144`
Thanks!
Launchd is a lot like cron, but more. You can Google for an app called Lingon, which will help you generate launchd items. You would just need to make a system deamon that runs your command and toss your plist file in /Library/LaunchdDaemons, then use launchctl to load it and you are set.
Here is an article explaining it

automountd
AUTOMOUNTD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual AUTOMOUNTD(8)
NAME
automountd -- automatic mount / unmount daemon for autofs
SYNOPSIS
/usr/libexec/automountd [-v] [-n] [-T] [-o opts] [-D name=value]
DESCRIPTION
automountd is a daemon that responds to requests from autofs to mount and unmount network filesystems, and to supply the contents of directo-
ries, based on the contents of automounter maps. The automountd is started on demand by launchd(8). As the daemon is launched by launchd,
the options below would be specified in the ProgramArguments key in the launchd plist for automountd. See FILES below.
OPTIONS
-v Log to syslogd(8) more detailed information about actions taken by automountd.
-n Disable browsing of all maps.
-T Increase by 1 the logging level for messages printed to the standard output information about requests received from autofs, process-
ing done for those requests, and replies sent to autofs. The default level of 0 causes no information to be logged; each higher
value causes more information to be logged.
-o opts
Apply the options specified by opts to all mounts by default. The options for a particular mount can override these options.
-D name=value
Set the environment value specified by name to the specified value. Environment variables can be referred to in map entries; the
value of the environment variable is substituted for the reference to the variable.
FILES
/etc/autofs.conf
configuration file used to manage automountd
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.automountd.plist
launchd plist
