Hi,

   Launch the agent in all logged in user context. for userName in `/usr/bin/users`

do

                su -l $userName -c "launchctl load -S Aqua

/Library/LaunchAgents/com.yourcmpny.plist"

done But there are some disadvantages when you have to support multiple

logged in Users at the time of Install which I have discussed in the

below link which you might want to take a look at.

If this works for you I will be a little surprised.  It did not work for me on SnowLeopard.  When starting the agent for a user other than the one who is doing the installation, launchctl throws an error at me.  However, when using the GUI installer, the environment variable $USER is set to the user who invoked the installer.  If you have to use sudo to install from the command line, then maybe you can check for COMMAND_LINE_INSTALL=1 and not start the agent because your $USER will be set to root.  The InstallationCheck script will get the SUDO_USER but the postinstall and preinstall won't get the SUDO_USER.
