I have an agent application (ie, an app that runs in the background

started, stopped and otherwise controlled via a preference pane. I
would like to use launchd to start the agent app whenever i log in.
Using the excellent Lingon (http://lingon.sourceforge.net/) I tried
to create a simple launch agent. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what
command i'm supposed to use to start my agent app. I tried using
the "open" command but that does not work. I also tried just
entering the path the executable as my command but that also does
not work.
Does anyone know how I can start this agent app via launchd?
If you're having an agent (as opposed to a daemon), you probably want
to register a login item. See
http://developer.apple.com/
documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystemStartup/Articles/
CustomLogin.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20002134 for info on doing this
as well as the difference between agents and daemons.
