launchd question

[Christopher Hunt]

Latest update: I think that my problem has something to do with  
either the sequence of when Finder is launched and/or whether Finder  
is even present. I didn't think it important to mention that the user  
B account is also a kiosk style of account i.e. a custom application  
is launched in place of Finder. Perhaps this is causing the problem...

Oh well... I've had to resort back to cron as my scheduled osascript  
command worked just fine there. I would like to get launchd working  
for me though so please keep coming through with any other ideas.

Cheers,
