What would cause a launchd-initiated process to respawn too quickly? My
system.log is receiving lots of:
Mar 29 09:59:59 GWhiz launchd: Log-notify: respawning too quickly!
throttling
Mar 29 09:59:59 GWhiz launchd: Log-notify: 1 more failure without living
at least 60 seconds will cause job removal
Mar 29 09:59:59 GWhiz launchd: Log-notify: will restart in 10 seconds
As the message suggests, launchd is expecting your script to live for more than 60 seconds, and it isn't :)
Try adding "sleep 60" to the end of your script.
Note: This probably shouldn't happen if you're starting your script with the StartInterval key in your launchd config file - could you post that?
Cheers,

Log-notify is a script of my own. The obvious thought is that I've made
an error in the script, but what sort of error would cause respawning
too quickly?
