In Mac OS X, the Launch Daemons are stored inside /Library/LaunchDaemons/įolder while the Launch Agents are inside /Library/LaunchAgents/ The main difference is that an agent is run on behalf of the logged in user while a daemon runs on behalf of the root user or any user you specify with the UserName key. Depending on where it is stored it will be treated as a daemon or an agent.Īgain, just to be clear between the difference between daemon/agents: The behavior of a daemon/agent is specified in a special XML file called a property list. We now have to add the script file to the Launch Daemon process - which will run the Job as soon as the Mac is booted. Step 2: Launch the shell script file as soon as the computer boots up Give the script file execution permission chmod +x ~/scripts/startup/startup.sh #!bin/bash #Start Mariadb Server only if it is not running if then # Note starting mariadb not as a sudoer mariadb start echo "Mariadb Server Started" else echo "Mariadb Server Already Running" fi This primarily checks if the mariadb service is enabled or not and then starts the service if it is stopped. Now add in the following code to the file - save and exit. S tep 1: Create an shell script file using the terminal vim ~/scripts/startup/startup.sh
