Sometimes I see that firing the "
launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/com.xyz.plistThe contents of the plist are:
<dict><key>Label</key><string>com.xyz</string><key>ProgramArguments</key><array><string>/Applications/xyz.app/Contents/MacOS/xyz</string></array><key>EnvironmentVariables</key><dict><key>OPT</key><string>xyz</string></dict><key>ExitTimeOut</key><integer>10</integer><key>KeepAlive</key><dict><key>SuccessfulExit</key><false/> </dict><key>RunAtLoad</key><true/><key>EnableTransactions</key><false/>launchctl dumpstate says the "STATE=WAITING". Why?
