Launchd not launching

[Telecart]

Hey all,

I recently upgraded slogger to the newer version to take advantage of twitter OAuth. I had some issues and had to install Xcode to resolve, anyway, all of that is done and resolved.

However, now for some reason install.rb launchd script does not launch slogger. It used to work before the upgrade. I tried removing and reinstalling com.brettterpstra.slogger.plist in lingon but to no avail. I don't even see any trace in console log that it tried to run..

Any ideas what I should look for?

You're not the first to mention this. Does the launchd script look correct when loaded in Lingon? Can you show me a paste of the plist file?

sure, here it 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.brettterpstra.Slogger</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/usr/bin/ruby</string>
        <string>/Applications/Slogger/slogger</string>
        <string>-s</string>
    </array>
    <key>StartCalendarInterval</key>
    <dict>
        <key>Hour</key>
        <integer>23</integer>
        <key>Minute</key>
        <integer>50</integer>
    </dict>
</dict>
</plist>

Nothing looks out of the ordinary in lingon.

Have you tested from command line, then unloaded and reloaded the job?

 sudo launchctl unload com.brettterpstra.slogger.plist
 sudo launchctl load com.brettterpstra.slogger.plist

[Telecart]

curious:

sudo launchctl unload com.brettterpstra.slogger.plist launchctl: Dubious ownership on file (skipping): com.brettterpstra.slogger.plist nothing found to unload

[ttscoff]

Run

chown yourusername 

~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.brettterpstra.slogger.plist

no effect. :/ it still won't unload with same dubious ownership claim.

What are the permissions on that file? They should be 644 (-rw-r--r--)

[alextall]

I am noticing the same as @Telecart. The only difference in our plists is the location of slogger (understandable), and I do not have the "-s" argument.

The permissions to my plist are -rw-r--r--+.

UPDATE: Scratch that. Not sure what changed, but the launchagent ran last night.

[Telecart]

permissions are indeed -rw-r--r--

[Telecart]

deleting and recreating file to no avail :/

@alextall has it kept working? Any idea what might have changed? Mine still not working.
