Have a look at the scripts link on my page at: http://links.zero.eu.org/os-x/period/The first thing I noticed was your lack of full path in: &lt;string&gt;sh&lt;/string&gt;Always use full paths unless you are sure they are not necessary.

Perhaps remove &lt;string&gt;sh&lt;/string&gt;

Thanks Neville, will give a try without the &lt;string&gt;sh&lt;/string&gt; and let you know. Should I change it for /bin/bash cause I try to run a .sh script ?

Neville Hillyer · Answer

Try both starting one at a time.

Rich_ClickPom · Answer

Have try both, same result:-127com.compagny.afprestart

And the script execute perfectly if I run it manually from the terminal ... thanks for your help.

On the assumption that serveradmin lainches as a separate process (rather than running as a standard utility) try adding an AbandonProcessGroup key set to true.

I tried putting your details (without logs) into Lingon and it says it will not validate without the following empty keys:&lt;key&gt;QueueDirectories&lt;/key&gt;and&lt;key&gt;WatchPaths&lt;/key&gt;I don&#x27;t understand why but you could try these 2 changes as shown below.&lt;?xml version&#x3D;"1.0" encoding&#x3D;"UTF-8"?&gt;&lt;!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"&gt;&lt;plist version&#x3D;"1.0"&gt;&lt;dict&gt;          &lt;key&gt;Label&lt;/key&gt;          &lt;string&gt;test-test&lt;/string&gt;          &lt;key&gt;ProgramArguments&lt;/key&gt;          &lt;array&gt;                    &lt;string&gt;sh&lt;/string&gt;                    &lt;string&gt;/script/afprestart.sh&lt;/string&gt;          &lt;/array&gt;          &lt;key&gt;QueueDirectories&lt;/key&gt;          &lt;array/&gt;          &lt;key&gt;StartCalendarInterval&lt;/key&gt;          &lt;dict&gt;                    &lt;key&gt;Hour&lt;/key&gt;                    &lt;integer&gt;4&lt;/integer&gt;                    &lt;key&gt;Minute&lt;/key&gt;                    &lt;integer&gt;5&lt;/integer&gt;          &lt;/dict&gt;          &lt;key&gt;WatchPaths&lt;/key&gt;          &lt;array/&gt;&lt;/dict&gt;&lt;/plist&gt;

Hi Neville,have try your plist modif, unload and re-load de plist but still the same result:-127com.compagny.afprestart

Rich_ClickPom · Answer

But with the change we made I have now more info in the StandardErrorPath:sh: /script/afprestart.sh: No such file or directorysh: /script/afprestart.sh: No such file or directorysh: /script/afprestart.sh: No such file or directory/bin/bash: /script/afprestart.sh: No such file or directory/bin/bash: /script/afprestart.sh: No such file or directory/bin/bash: /script/afprestart.sh: No such file or directorysh: /script/afprestart.sh: No such file or directoryLook like a filename error, there is a misstype caracter in my script name  "script.afpretsart.sh" must be afprestart.sh . wiil give a try but I think this will works. Let know know tomorow.Regards,

Good luck - it looks hopeful

Ok now I got this:-127com.compagny.afprestartLigne 2 and ligne 4 of the script command not found thats mean:serveradmin: command not foundwill try to add the full path of the serveradmin command in the script:#!/bin/bash/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/serveradmin stop afpsleep 2/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/serveradmin start afpAny better idea ?thanks !

Neville Hillyer · Answer

That will probably do it.Always best to start with full paths and only use other paths if later tests show they work.

Rich_ClickPom · Answer

Look fine now:-0com.compagny.afprestartcode zero mean that the program was finished successfully.Thanks Neville for your help, really apprecited !
