Launch agent runs as root immediately after install


  • Subject: Launch agent runs as root immediately after install
  • From: Chris Adamson <email@hidden>

We're installing a LaunchAgent that we want to get up and running immediately, so in a post-install script, we call "launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/path.to.our.agent.plist".

I've noticed that this runs the agent as root, whereas the agent will run as the user on subsequent logins.

Is there a way to get the agent running as the user who's performing the install, rather than root?

Thanks in advance.
