launchd question

[Christopher Hunt]

Well it appears that what I'm trying to do (create a LaunchAgent for  
a specific user that issues an osascript command) is legitimate; it  
just doesn't work for Tiger. More specifically LaunchAgents don't  
work too well on Tiger. However Leopard apparently fixes things up.

I have this advice from the "horses mouth" a.k.a. the guy in Apple  
that looks after launchd. Here are excerpts of his replies at the  
launchd-dev at lists.macosforge.org forum after having explained my  
problem:

> Known bug in Tiger, and fixed in Leopard.
> For most practical purposes, LaunchAgents don't function as  
> advertised in Tiger.
> You can use them as long as you never logout.

In other words avoid LaunchAgents for Tiger.

'hope that this has been useful - it has been for me!
