Thank you, the process needs to be running permanently, the script was
just for testing. It works on both, 10.4 and 10.5 without throttling
now. I had used Lingon but that doesn't create the plist the way it
needed to be.

launchd gives me a hard time with a daemon I need to keep running.
It prints "Throttling respawn" to my console forever. Because of
that I wrote a script that does nothing but print "test" and sleep
before exiting to somehow understand why launchd does that.
It looks like "launchctl submit" expects that the task will never
quit; the man page says
A simple way of submitting a program to run without a
configuration file.
This mechanism also tells launchd to keep the program
alive in the event
of failure.
So if your program exits it will relaunch it; and if that happens
too often, it'll start to throttle the rate at which it does that
and print those warnings.
If you want to use a program that runs and quits, and presumably
schedule it to run at certain times, you'll need to create a
property list that defines its behavior (see man 5 launch.plist).
