I have changed my ditto line to use $1, so that it now reads:

ditto $1/Resources/com.product.launchd.engine_osx.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/

And yet, ditto responds that it cannot 'get real path for source'.

If it's a shell script, it probably should read

ditto "$1/Contents/Resources/com.product.launchd.engine_os.plist" / Library/LaunchDaemons/

so that the $1 variable gets interpolated into the pathname. And "Contents" should be part of the path.


I have been learning this piecemeal, and working outside of the GUI. How
would you suggest that I get the com.product.launchd.engine_osx.plist file
into the bom and archive?

Using whatever method you are currently using to get all your other files into the bom and archive.payload.
