But zero lines of code trumps either 50 or 1,000 lines of code - and is
infinitely preferable since the corresponding ratio between one and either
of the other two options is ƒ. :-)

If the agent app is Tiger-only, simply create an launchd plist configuration
file, place it in either /Library/LaunchAgents (to run for any user) or
~/Library/LaunchAgents (to run for a specific user) and call it a day.
