Hi,
Launch the agent in all logged in user context.
for userName in `/usr/bin/users`
do
su -l $userName -c "launchctl load -S Aqua /Library/LaunchAgents/com.yourcmpny.plist"
done
But there are some disadvantages when you have to support multiple logged in Users at the time of Install which I have discussed in the below link which you might want to take a look at.

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.
