I am trying to sync my documents to my local git server (an old Mac mini).
The script is located as a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin .
Using the script stand alone is working just fine, but I want it to run at startup and at 2 o'clock in the morning.
The plist file is Ok, according to Xcode.
But the script does not run at startup or in the early morning.
(In older versions of OS X this functioned well)

Lingon is handy for these pesky files.
Does whatever user is being used have access to all of the files involved?

And additional help with Launchd configuration syntax is here. Use the ~/Library/LaunchAgents folder (or if missing, create it) to contain your *.plist file. You will need a full path to your script in that plist file. You should have RunAtLoad set to True, and a StartCalendarInterval set to 2 according to the preceding link. RunAtLoad will require a login event to trigger it as an Agent.
That is correct, there is no validation.
But it does scan the syntax and complains: Failed to open property list:
The command: launchctl list, lists among others my entry.
Where in the log files can I find what went wrong?
(My script is logging, but it does not run.)

That means that it isn’t even in correct plist XML format.
