My installer install a program, which i needed to run at user-login. 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.

I tried the same on a leopard and snow leopard box and everything works fine there without any problem. What is is that i am missing in Tiger?

Sachin: I'd recommend you read: http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2005/tn2083.html LaunchAgents are, unfortunately, seemingly DOA (dead on arrival) in Tiger.
