Apple

Hi Christian,

I have changed as you mentioned, now the process did not launch when rebooted. Any other changes need to be done?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>KeepAlive</key>
    <true/>
    <key>Label</key>

    <string>com.guidancesoftware.encaseforensicservlet</string>
    <key>Program</key>
    <array>
    <string>/usr/local/encase/EnCase</string>

    </array>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
    <string>start</string>
    </array>

    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

Thanks & Regards,
Karthikeyan

I am by no means an expert, but have you tried this:

     <key>Program</key>
     <array>
     <string>/usr/local/encase/Encase</string>
     </array>
     <key>ProgramArguments</key>
     <array>
     <string>start</string>
     </array>

…which gives launchd a clue as to which binary it needs to keep alive.

Hi,

I am trying to create a Launch Daemon for EnCase binary file. I have to
add KeepAlive to the Launch Daemon plist. The process should be alive
even if it exists normally (with exit 0) or crashes with error.

I tried adding <key>KeepAlive</key> in the Launch Daemon(below) created
but this keeps on running the Program Arguments resulting in multiple
process of the same binary.

Someone help me in changing the LauchDaemon plist so that the process
kickstart again if it exits?

Thanks & Regards,
