Thread-topic: 10.5 lauchctl unload causing process crash
Title: RE: 10.5 lauchctl unload causing process crash
My daemon basically sits in the background keeping a socket alive, to the outside world, and communicates with the outside world and my daemon agent.
There are actually two plists which are loaded/unloaded via the post and preflight executables in a mpkg file that is run.
the plist that is causing the error generation is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.mydaemon.agentmon</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/Library/Application Support/MyDaemon/AgentMon</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
Permissions is set to root but the actually command line is as follows: sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mydaemon.agentmon.plist
the error I see from my terminal window running as 'tail -f /var/log/system.log is:

When you say run it through the debugger I am not sure how I would do that. Do you have an example or some place I can go see/read a tutorial on this procedure?
Thanks in advance for any help
