[launchd-dev] Help in launching a launch daemon

[Arun]

Hi,
I had gone through the same and my plist looks like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "
http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.myname.test</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/Volumes/WORKING/Vi2.app/test</string>
<string>--silent=no</string>
<string>--mode=fresh</string>
</array>
<key>QueueDirectories</key>
<array/>
<key>WatchPaths</key>
<array>
<string>/tmp/.launchMyDaemon</string>
</array>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<false/>
</dict>
</plist>

But it is not working. Can anyone help
