There is one launchd per user, so in theory, it shouldn't be hard. Unfortunately, the "~" magic doesn't work for WatchPaths at the moment. Feel free to file a bug,
I have also tried adding multiple WatchPaths by editing the .plist file but it only seems to use the first WatchPath, is there away around this? Do I need to create another attribute so it watches more than one path?
Can you please supply an example configuration file?
Here you go...
<example.zip>
Where are you installing this configuration file?
/Library/LaunchAgents/
The normal file system permissions are tripping you up. The default permissions for ~/Library are 700. That means that any given per-user launchd cannot monitor the preferences of their peers. davez
