LaunchDaemons mac.. again... 🔗 link

Hi all,
Tried with advice recently from here, and other places to do a proper plist file
But for some reason it doesn't work properly.
could anyone have a quick look and see if the structure is wrong?
Thanks!

ns1:LaunchDaemons root# cat com.xymon.client.plist <?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>KeepAlive</key>
        <true/>
        <key>Label</key>
        <string>com.xymon.client</string>         <key>OnDemand</key>
        <false/>
        <key>Program</key>
        <string>/Users/xymon/client/runclient.sh</string>
                <key>ProgramArguments</key>
                <array>                         <string>/Users/xymon/client/runclient.sh</string>
                        <string>start</string>
                </array>
        <key>RunAtLoad</key>
        <true/>
        <key>ServiceDescription</key>
        <string>Xymon Startup</string>
        <key>UserName</key>
        <key>RunAtLoad</key>
</dict>
</plist>

Wouldn't it just be easier to put a nanny line in the user crontab to fire
it up?

Adjust as your env requirements may be different.

I mentioned before that runclient.sh probably won't work with launchd  since it exits, but I imagine you've done more testing since then and  maybe you know something I don't. Also, the section above will run the  command as `/Users/xymon/client/runclient.sh /Users/xymon/client/ runclient.sh start`. I think you want to omit the Program section and  use only the ProgramArguments as you have it written so it will end up  running just `/Users/xymon/client/runclient.sh start`.
