Thanks, Damien, that makes sense.

I don't remember where I originally heard "60 seconds", but searching the web for "living at least 60 seconds" brings up plenty of log entries from launchd. Where's this figure coming from (i.e. are there certain cases where your job must stay alive for that long)?

No idea. It's possible that this was the ThrottleInterval in Tiger and was changed in Leopard. I only came into the project during the SnowLeopard timeframe. -- Damien Sorresso BSD Engineering Apple Inc.
