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? In Tiger there is only one launchd instance, so LaunchAgents are not loaded correctly because they are launched by the root launchd instance. This causes all kinds of problems, especially when you logout, or somebody logs in via SSH. In Leopard and later, there are multiple launchd instances, one for each user logged into the machine and attached to the graphics console, so launchd can load LaunchAgents into the appropriate user bootstrap namespace.
