Someone mentioned the issue with not being able to call "open myApp.app" in a postflight script because Leopard notices it's downloaded from the Internet. I'm seeing the same thing with launchctl.

Anyone know a way to launch your program after the install on Leopard?

Thanks very much.

The problem is that Apple attaches to those files coming from the internet an extended attribute. Run this from terminal to see it

xattr -l myApp.app

Once attribute is removed with

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine myApp.app

You can launch it without user interaction.

Hope this helps,

Martin

PS.: Apple heavily uses now extended attributes for various things in Leopard.
