[launchd-dev] Having issue with launchAgents

[Arjun SM]

I tried with the recommended plist format having only the "RunAtLoad" key ..
but no success
 i got the following message at Console.log when i loggedout and logged in
again.

*22/01/09 5:50:11 PM com.apple.launchctl.Aqua[2893] com.myself.menulet:
Already loaded *

then i checked if the job is listed in launchd with *launchctl
list*command. It was present.
then i also tried the "KeepAlive" key and set it to true. That also failed.
