launchctl list status 出现异常的解决方法

从stackoverflow上转载一篇文章，讨论了在Mac OS中通过launchctl list发现plist运行的Status出现异常的解决方法，其实就是安装launchcontrol图形工具。

launchcontrol是一款强大的后台服务管理进程launchd辅助工具，能够帮助我们自定义并管理各种System/Global/UserAgents。可以查看程序的运行状态，是否出错，以及非常详细的出错提示信息。

I want to run a unison sync service running in the background whenever I login. But the status code of my agent is 78. I don't know why, I tried some fix posted online, but it just doesn't work.

What's the problem?? below is the plist file for my service.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"><plist version="1.0"><dict>    <key>Label</key>    <string>syncmyproject</string>    <key>StandardOutPath</key>    <string>/var/log/syncmyproject.log</string>    <key>StandardErrorPath</key>    <string>/var/log/syncmyproject.log</string>    <key>RunAtLoad</key>    <true/>    <key>KeepAlive</key>    <true/>    <key>Debug</key>    <true/>    <key>EnableGlobbing</key>    <true/>    <key>ProgramArguments</key>    <array>      <string>/usr/local/bin/unison</string>      <string>-auto</string>      <string>-batch</string>      <string>-repeat watch</string>      <string>~/home/project</string>      <string>~/project</string>    </array></dict></plist>

You can grep this file for possible clues as to what's wrong: /var/log/system.log – Nick Dec 1 at 19:52

I read man launchctl, find 78 means function not implemented. It doesn't help much.

Finally I make it work, actually there were errors in the plist, I recommend to install the brew cask install launchcontrol, which is a gui tool for launchctl, it can help detect errors and trouble shooting.

Thanks for this. launchcontrol helped solve my issue. For the record I had status 78 and my issue was that my script did not start with an interpreter e,g; #!/bin/sh – getthemike Feb 26 at 14:37

 

For me the problem was, that the log directory was not accessible by the current user. – d4Rk Oct 25 at 10:16
