Perhaps a problem with your OS version (just noticed you are on 10.6.8)? Anyway, to be sure, could you precisely describe the steps you undertake to create you launch agents? Axel
Axel,
Thanks. Sure. Here's the plist I put in ~/Library/LaunchAgents:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>KeepAlive</key> <false/> <key>Label</key> <string>com.example.exampled</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <string>osascript</string> <string>/Users/sjc/Desktop/exampled.scpt</string> </array> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> </dict> </plist>
and Here's the Launch Agent I put on the desktop:
beep -- this works say "example d finished" using "Alex" -- this works
display dialog "exampled finished" -- this doesn't
And here's the shell command to load:
launchctl load Library/LaunchAgents/com.example.exampled.plist
Works fine except the "display dialog" is never executed and the following error appears in the console log:
10/5/15 5:44:31 AM com.example.exampled[7799] execution error: --> No user interaction allowed. (-1713) <-- 10/5/15 5:44:31 AM com.apple.launchd.peruser.502[149] (com.example.exampled[7799]) Exited with exit code: 1
