Dear Readers, I'm trying to get the following command launched by launchd on system startup
while `sleep 4`; do echo **clunk** > /tmp/declunk && rm -f /tmp/ declunk; done &
I created a bash script /usr/bin/declunk with 1 #!/bin/bash 2 while `sleep 4`; do echo **clunk** > /tmp/declunk && rm -f /tmp/ declunk; done & And than create the following launchd plist in /Library/LaunchDaemons 1 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 2 <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd "> 3 <plist version="1.0"> 4 <dict> 5 <key>Disabled</key> 6 <false/> 7 <key>KeepAlive</key> 8 <false/> 9 <key>Label</key> 10 <string>de.tiggar.declunk</string> 11 <key>ProgramArguments</key> 12 <array> 13 <string>/usr/bin/declunk</string> 14 </array> 15 <key>RunAtLoad</key> 16 <true/> 17 <key>StartOnMount</key> 18 <false/> 19 </dict> 20 </plist> Next i try to load the agent with:
Sep 16 22:03:00 iah sudo[7855]: Jan : TTY=ttys000 ; PWD=/ Library/LaunchDaemons ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/launchctl load -w de.tiggar.declunk.plist Sep 16 22:03:00 iah com.apple.launchd[1] (de.tiggar.declunk[7861]): Stray process with PGID equal to this dead job: PID 7863 PPID 7862 sleep Sep 16 22:03:00 iah com.apple.launchd[1] (de.tiggar.declunk[7861]): Stray process with PGID equal to this dead job: PID 7862 PPID 1 bash
So the question is now. It is possible to have a script like that work with launchd? What do I have done wrong? Thanks for your help. Cheers, Jan
