Thanks, I got some replies off list as well, and asuser is pretty much a drop-in replacement. It wasn't documented until 10.10, but opensource.apple.com (yay!) confirms that it appeared in 10.7, so I guess it should be safe to use even if you need to support older releases? > On El Capitan, you can use `launchctl bootstrap` and `launchctl bootout`, eg. > > $ launchctl bootout user/$uid /path/to/plist > $ launchctl bootstrap user/$uid /path/to/plist > > Note that both of these will load your job into the user's background session > and *not* the user's GUI session.

We're basically cargo culting Quinn's reply here: https://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/launchd-dev/2011-January/000890.html chroot -u just executes a command though, and you don't have to deal with the shell as you have to if you use su, and as a bonus there's no quoting involved. > On El Capitan, you can modify the above commands to be > > $ launchctl bootout gui/$uid /path/to/plist > $ launchctl bootstrap gui/$uid /path/to/plist > > if you want to load the job into the user's GUI session, and you won't have > to go through any weird tricks like below.

Don't I know it, but heck, it's cleaner and more explicit now than it's ever been. -- Per Olofsson, IT-service, University of Gothenburg _______________________________________________ launchd-dev mailing list launchd-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/launchd-dev
