Re: using launchctl in postflight scripts

I need to start both a daemon and agent process using launchctl, but my postinstall/postupgrade scripts run as root.

You can use the environment variables set for the script. My agent preinstall script is given below for example.

Keith


#!/bin/sh

if [ -f /Library/LaunchAgents/dawnAlarma.plist ]; then
su $USER -c 'launchctl unload /Library/LaunchAgents/ com.buoy.dawnAlarma.plist'
fi
