Frequent crashes: a workaround

[smartwatermelon]

As we know, there isn't any current development happening on ControlPlane. But it's still very useful for me. Unfortunately, the app tends to crash a couple of times a day, and I only notice when something that was supposed to automatically happen doesn't happen. So I found this Stack Exchange post, and put together a LaunchCtl service which automatically relaunches ControlPlane when it crashes. I hope this is useful to someone. Name it ControlPlane.restart.plist, save it to ~/Library/LaunchAgents, and launch it with launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ControlPlane.restart.plist.

        </array>
</dict>
</plist>
