Re: launchd daemon Throttling respawn log messages

[Alexander Reichstadt]

Thank you, the process needs to be running permanently, the script was just for testing. It works on both, 10.4 and 10.5 without throttling now. I had used Lingon but that doesn't create the plist the way it needed to be.

launchd gives me a hard time with a daemon I need to keep running. It prints "Throttling respawn" to my console forever. Because of that I wrote a script that does nothing but print "test" and sleep before exiting to somehow understand why launchd does that.

It looks like "launchctl submit" expects that the task will never quit; the man page says A simple way of submitting a program to run without a configuration file. This mechanism also tells launchd to keep the program alive in the event So if your program exits it will relaunch it; and if that happens too often, it'll start to throttle the rate at which it does that and print those warnings. If you want to use a program that runs and quits, and presumably schedule it to run at certain times, you'll need to create a property list that defines its behavior (see man 5 launch.plist).
