Hello all,
My installer install a program, which i needed to run at user-login.
Now
for the same i have written a LaunchAgent but the problem is it is not
launching at user-login.
I put the plist file at /Library/LaunchAgents
Also when logged in, if from terminal, if i fire:
launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/com.launchd.myprogram.plist
(which
has RunAtLoad = true).
In the /var/log/system.log i get
launchd[2..2] com.launchd.myprogram:exited abnormally: Abort Trap
However, if i run :
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/com.launchd.myprogram.plist
Everything works fine.
I tried the same on a leopard and snow leopard box and everything
works
fine there without any problem. What is is that i am missing in Tiger?
LaunchAgents are broken in Tiger. You must be using Leopard to use
them. In Tiger, you can modify the LoginItems directly hwich is
technically unsupported, but I doubt Apple is going to break it now.
Google should be able to find you the code to modify the
com.apple.loginwindow.plist, or you can just open it up in Tiger and
figure it out--it's not terribly difficult.
