I know this is sort of off topic, but does anyone know where I can find LaunchD? I thought it was supposed to come pre-installed with mac osx.
It’s called launchd and it’s in /sbin/.
Where is the /sbin/ folder located? I LOOKED EVERWHERE…
Put your custom made *.plist file in ‘~/Library/LaunchAgents’.
In the terminal you can use “launchctl load ” to load the file. To unload the file, just replace load by unload.
Hope it helps,

PS: sbin is a hidden folder. If you’re in the Finder and choose the menu item Go → Go to folder (or something like that); and type in /sbin and click OK, the Finder will open that folder for you.
Hello
There are a couple of interesting launchd articles here.
This post shows some common traps with launchd http://www.macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=25076
This is StefanK’s launcd Installer http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=20949
This is the article by Craig Smith who StefanK refers to: http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=24748
The links to afp48.com in that article is also a very good read.
