Q: Launchdaemon not launching?
Hello
I am not sure how to confirm a launchdaemon is working. I am running OS X 10.10 on a mac mini.
I created a plist in textedit and renamed it with the plist file extension and placed it in this folder /Library/LaunchDaemons
I then used these permission commands in terminal
sudo chown root:wheel x.plist
sudo chmod 644 x.plist
I verified the permissions are correct using:
ls -lah x.plist
and the result was rw-r--r--@ 1 root wheel 622B Aug 25 10:20 com.net.ORG.blockelcapitan.plist which I understand to be correct.
I then used this to load it launchctl load /Library/Launchdaemons/x.plist
I rebooted and then typed launchctl list but it is NOT in the list. Why would that be and how do you confirm it is loaded and working?
thanks
