Thanks for the details, Steve.
So, your agent is a script run thru osascript.
You’ve already got some feedback about the limitations of osascript wrt "user interaction" before Mavericks.
Anyway, I quickly tried the following on 10.6.8:
- save this one as application "exampled.app" from Applescript Editor:
tell me to activate
display dialog "exampled finished"
- in the plist, change the ProgramArguments key:
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/Users/sjc/Desktop/exampled.app/Contents/MacOS/applet</string>
</array>
At each logout/login, the "agent" seems to happily display its dialog.
Axel
