Your agent should accept a message or signal that will cause it to restart itself. Why do you believe unloading and loading the agent is necessary? Are you running an installer or something?

Yes, this is part of an install.

This will spawn a new process for your script in the bootstrap context that your agent is running in. The invocations of launchctl from that script will inherit the correct environment and talk to the correct launchd.

I just want to be using the lowest possible privilege at all times, as any good application should do. I'm having trouble determining what permissions the UID controls and what permissions the bootstrap context controls. *********************************************************************** This e-mail and its attachments are confidential, legally privileged, may be subject to copyright and sent solely for the attention of the addressee(s).
