I have a 10.4.11 PPC machine. and the problem is still present in it. Can you tell what all you have included in your plist file? Hi, perhaps this is a little off topic, but I thought that LaunchAgents was introduced in Tiger and was working ok? It seems ok when I test it, but this is on a 10.4.11 machine. Do you have these problems only on earlier versions of Tiger, or is it Tiger in general?

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. 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.
