Guess I'm still confused;

This plist/launch agent, when loaded. starts immediately and runs constantly instead of only running only at 9:59AM, every day. Am I missing something?

<false/>

The OnDemand key is obsolete and probably the main factor in restarting the agent continuously. The example I sent previously did not use it.

<key>ProgramArguments</key>

I think this should be:

<dict>
<key>Hour</key>
<integer>9</integer>
<key>Minute</key>
<integer>59</integer>
</dict>

</dict>
</plist>
