I am developing an app, in this case for macOS. My app has two parts: A GUI A Server From the GUI i can start and stop the serve. My problem is that i need the server starts when the mac boots. Using the LaunchAgents i got to launch it when the user logins on, but i need to initiate it before. I saw that i need to saving my .plis inside of /Library/LaunchDaemons. I did it but when i restart the computer the server didn t initiate. I checked that my service gave me the status 1 so, it didn t launch correctly. Maybe the failure is inside the plist... but i dont understand why it works in LaunchAgent and not inside LaunchDaemons My plist is: <?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.turnoffpc.turnoffpcplist</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/Applications/Turn Off PC.app/Contents/Resources/Turn Off PC/Server/dist/turn_off_pc_server.app/Contents/MacOS/turn_off_pc_server</string> </array> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> For loading the service im using the following sh: #!/bin/bash # Copiar el archivo plist a /Library/LaunchDaemons/ sudo cp com.turnoffpc.turnoffpcplist.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/ # Establecer los permisos adecuados sudo chown root:wheel /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.turnoffpc.turnoffpcplist.plist sudo chmod 644 /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.turnoffpc.turnoffpcplist.plist # Descargar y luego cargar el servicio utilizando launchctl sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.turnoffpc.turnoffpcplist.plist sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.turnoffpc.turnoffpcplist.plist I checked that the service is in the correct location The path to my app is: inside /Applications Turn Off PC.app Resources Turn Off PC - Server - dist - turn_off_pc_server.app - Contents - MacOS - turn_off_pc_server Someone sees the error or the thing that i am doing wrong? Thanks in advance
