[Try again using the righ email.] I’m no expect, but I don’t think you need the “-c” parameter. You already have a reference to a file. You may also want to add keys to direct stdout and stderr to a file. Ala: <key>StandardOutPath</key> <string>/tmp/test.stdout</string> <key>StandardErrorPath</key> <string>/tmp/test.stderr</string> I think the following web site is pretty good at explaining how to use launchd plists: http://launchd.info You can also check ‘man launchd.plist’ for a reference.
