[NPMUG] Launchd

[Robert Peirce]

What causes certain LaunchDaemons to not run properly and to go into a throttling/respawn loop?  I tried something as simple as trying to run a script that just put the date in a file and I could not get it to run.  Other, more complicated daemons run just fine.  I suspect this has something to do with invoking the command properly but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong, nor can I figure out where to look for information.  Try googling "throttling launchd" and you will get thousands of people who have the problem but nobody who has a solution.
