Hi All ,

I'm facing a problem with RootDirectory key in launchd plist file.
It's working fine on PPC , but giving exceptions on Intel Mac .
<...>
     <key>RootDirectory</key>
	<string>~/</string>

~ is not a path - it's a shortcut for the current user's home directory that gets expanded by the shell. There's no actual directory called "~", though, and I suspect that launchd may not be able to perform the tilde expansion reliably. Try specifing the full path to the appropriate user's home directory.


I don't know why this would differ between PPC and x86 Mac OS, but I don't see any reason it couldn't either.
