[launchd-dev] LaunchD crashing daemon in 10.5

[Carl Smith]

I have an agent and daemon that I have installed and running on a 10.5
system. The problem I am having is when I do an 'update' the call from
'sudo launchctl unload
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mycompany.mydaemon.com' my daemon
receives a SIGTERM and aborts and the rest of my install procedures
fails.

My project consists of an agent and a daemon. The plists that I use
'launchctl unload' on live in the following areas:

Daemon = /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
Agent = /Library/LaunchAgents/

I use 'sudo launchctl unload ...' for the daemon and 'launchctl unload
...' for the agent.

This 'update' works fine in 10.4 but fails under 10.5. I can install my
agent and daemon fine I just can't seem to 'unload' gracefully running
in the 10.5 enviroment.

Any suggestions or help would greatly be appreciated.
